depends on how much work you want to do to get it, the best way is to take off the resonator box and run a pipe straight from the throttle body to the air flow meter then to a poddy this will make a really nice suckson roar, although there has been some thoughts that you will loose power from doing this as supposibly the resonator box aides your power or something, but i found that when i did this to mine the throttle responce seemed a lot better a power seemed the same or mabye a litle more but ey might have been my brain playing tricks, i dont know if anyone has done dyno trials but ey ask around someone knows more than i do

Go here for a listen to mine.

http://homepages.paradise.net.nz/jswright/screamin.html

It's a UNIfilter and custom intake pipe as unarmed is talking about, it ran 120rwkw with this set up.

I've recently changed to a Blitz Superpower LM filter, because it is a dry filter and I was sick of cleaning my air flow meter, and I have lost a little top end and all of the scream! Going to put the UNIfilter back on for competion and use the Blitz for day to day driving...

either take the snorkel off the factoy box and run a good filter, like a k&n, or get a pod. both will create a deep noise. i had a pod on my 6 sylinder falcon and it sounded like a stock v8. then i had a 2000 magna with a 3.5l v6 and with the snorkel off and a k&n panel filter it sounded beefy. doesn't seem to work on commodores though, but it was an auto and all the rest were manuals. a pod will make more noise than a panel with the snorkel off. to get a rough idea of what it will sound like, take of the front of the airbox and take out the filter and rev the car suddenly. just make sure there is no crap around the airbox that could get sucked in.

The resonator in an OEM airbox is to smooth out the airflow. For some reason its especially bad on NA cars, but at a certain speed the air being drawn into the intake causes weird airflow through the pipe. This screws your AFM's reading, which can kill power and will definitely cause strange noises to come from the engine.

My engine makes a great induction roar, but then I've got a pod filter using minimal heat shielding going into a pipe that's only got 1 bend to the intake manifold.

hey scathing, i've had no wierd noises comming from my engine n the airflow seems fine, i think though sometimes it does struggle to find idle when you are sitting at the lights or whatever, but otherwise no probs, the car runs 15.5's down the 1/4 with the induction, a cat bak 2 1/4 mandral bent zorst n a heavy duty clutch, n it has a heavy arse body kit on it, so i can't c the resinator taking any power from the car

Yeah im getting an apexi duel somethign or other pod air filter, id like to get a pipe tu run from the motor direct to the pod filter. Does anyone know where i can get this in brisbane or someone in brisbane that can custom make it.

And to the guy who said it was making to much noise so he took it off, i hope myne makes all the noise that it can.

Thx

Sorry about the noob questions (ur all prolly gonna laugh): what is the different between a pod filter and air filter?? and which ones better

AHaha im a noob and you make me look good lol. A pod filter is a type of air filter. Just like a panel filter. Its just the shape of the filter that gives it the name, go to google, images, and type pod filter.

so whats the best one to get? HKS, K&N or apexi? i also want the swoosh noise :D

Try this: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=119448

A'pexi filters best, but it's horses for courses. 'swoosh' doesn't nessecarily equal good filtration, so which do you want more, noise or engine longevity?

15.5? i dont think that is a good thing as i did my first ever 1/4 run and got 15.9, the car is stock, have you had the car dyno tuned after you got the mods? would probbably be good idea. What induction kit have you got?

    • Sounds more like what Brad said, that it's mainly transfer. What pad bed in procedure did you use, and did you replace/machine the rotors, or just swap pads?
    • The stutter is almost entirely in the pedal. I don't feel the brakes release and reapply as you would with ABS engaging but the pedal feels that way, without the brakes releasing. It only lasts for less than a second and the pedal is fine again. It's hard to explain, sorry.  I'll get under this weekend and just double check everything is tight. Fluid is at max where I left it.
    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
