I have seen people who have just led a pipe up under the Pod and i've seen entire sealed boxes around the Pod. Obviously a sealed box would be more efficient but does it matter THAT much? Will it make much diff?

Probably clutching at straws.

or you can get the full CAI intake setup which looks like this - andi highly recommend it!!

This is from RPW and this locates the pod in front of the front passenger wheel about 6 inches off the ground - gets the coldest of cold air, sounds great, and is totally brilliant - however not recommended if you are in a place that gets deep puddles a lot!!

Also not recommended if you would like to part with $600 for the kit!!

umm... mitsiman & manual... does that system fit on an auto? i seem to remember it being developed only for manual magnas :? . Now i'm guessing that Super Verada Man's car is an auto! don't know why though :p

yeah, there is no change if the g/box is auto or not!

and it's not the oil breather it's the crank case breather, equalises air pressure with inside pressure and outside pressure!

oil breather is a different thing on it's own!
inclusive of oil breather tank, the filter and pipes

hey since we're on the topic of air and intakes. i was just wondering, sombody told me that u can take off the intake resenator chambers, and that makes ur exhaust sound better, louder etc. but car manufacturers aren't stupid, and they would have spent their time designing such a thing. anybody taken their's out? whats the difference performance and sound wise? btw, its for a 3.0L V6,TF

the louder, gruffer exhaust note (if any) would be from the engine not running smoothly!

I agree 100%, I have read to many sites stating the benifits of resonators to take them off, even if the differance in performance is minimal, every bit counts :lol:
