hey guys,
Before i say anything yes i know it not the best to have a pod just sat in the engine bay, and the heat from the engine is bad and all that, BUT WOW the noise is fantastic!! it really make a noise and as for the open pod in the engine bay im going to make up a stainless steel intake pipe and then make a alluminum box to surround it but at the moment im happy with the restult evan if it doesn't give me any more performance it sounds Great!!. ![]() ![]()

make your own box how hard is it!! extend that pipe with pod to behind headlight furthest away from engine then build over the top it. Why pay hundreds for plastic.

Your right it will sound fantastic BUT it won't be efficient, the worst thing you can do in this case is have HOT air blowing into your induction especially when the thermo fans come on.....that's when you see inlet temps rise sharply.
Get that thing covered ASAP man..... |

well accually i will be making it, and a intake pipe as well, im thinking of alluminum box as the heat should not be retained in the alluminum. and it will suit the color mmm Lightning strike!! and accually i have thought about making up my own exhaust and getting muffelrs from VPW and doing the piping. But i think it willbe easyer to just get a difillipo cbf factor is very high in this case.

Lol! Looks great, but I do think you should smooth it out. Maybe not right down, but a little bit...

Last time I made some custom kick panels out of fibreglass, got some bog and put it over the top, sanded it back and got nice smooth finish!
