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.

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

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?

      When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?

      We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.

      No, you're wrong, and you've always been wrong about this. The Nismo has 2 sets of openings. One is a real 2-way, and the other is a 1-way. There is no 1.5-way possible with the ramps that they offer. A real 1.5-way does exist. That Cusco stuff I posted is a prime example. If the forward drive ramps are, say 55°, and the overrun ramps are, say, 30°, then you will get about half as much LSD effect on overrun than you do on drive. It is real, it realy works. OK, you're slightly right. The Nismo has 55° and 45° ramps on the 2-way, so it does offer less LSD effect on overrun. But, I think that just means that they've (probably) sensibly established that you do not want actually equal LSD effect on overrun. You just want "quite a lot, but not quite as much as the drive LSD effect".
