Im in the process of making one.
Best video and advise went through every step the whole way cheers bro definitely worth watching
Nice vid. Great idea Mace came up with. The pod is was flows better, with slightly less filtration. The original setup was a poor design any way those silly clips. They never seal properly unless you grease the top of the filter and so many cars suck in unfiltered air from the top. This at least stops that from occurring. I was looking at getting one but not sure if I could plump to the box with a Turbo or charger installed.
Sou do brasil otimo video parabens pela máquina serviço muito bm feito abraço
Hey mate I have a 2000 vt commodore v6 what CAI do I go with
you can go with the same one used in this video(CAI is linked in description) as it fits any vt commodore from 1997-20014
If I left the maf sens facing down would it matter ?
i think you have to spin the maf sens as you wont be able to plug it in as there isnt enough cable, if you can plug it in then im pretty sure you should be fine.
Would it need a tune up or is it ok to run without?
I have been runing this with my catback exhaust and x-force extractors thats welded to my stock y pipe, and still haven't had any issues yet and its been 7 months. but i feel like it would do alot better with a tune, but im lazy and dont wanna pay for it lmao.
hey are these legal? was thinking of doing it just not sure if its worth the risk of getting defected
i believe it's legal as long as you have it encloused in the black box like how this comes.
@@dismissedtub6717 yeah righto thanks
Hey probably a stupid question but would I have to get a tune?
No you don’t
No you wouldn’t need a tune as I have been running mine without one and have had no problems in 8 months, but it would perform better with a tune.
No worries thank you
@@jaydenpenfold5515 no problem
@@bonylof3874you know fuck all ! Why even comment with your incompetant knowledge
Why does the maf sens have to be facing up
You want to rotate the maf sens 90° so it has adequate clearence, due to it being moved abit.
Where does the cold air come from tho? Seams more like a warm air intake
Yea lmao, it sounds alright but I didn’t expect much from it and especially for a v6
It comes from the passage side gaurd. No heatsoak as im getting 2 degrees Celsius above ambient temperature
I don’t get why people use these cai boxes.
The stock air box is sealed with a filter inside.
This cai is a unsealed box which can suck in hot air where the induction pipe goes into it.
The 2 hole mod in the stock air box seems to a better idea and a lot cheaper to me.
Hey the two hole method is still good, I chose this option because I like the added hiss sound and how they look in the engine bay. but I have also noticed a slight better response time.
Chit 👍
The factory intake gets hot as hell because it's above the radiator. Crap set-up
