Surge 1 Report post Posted July 14, 2007 Really nice setup, Good to see it done properly! Considered something discreet on the bonnet? slats or something along those lines.. It looks really good as is - there will be heaps of air to draw from there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It looks really good as is - there will be heaps of air to draw from there. cheers yeh i thought about that but its not done very common after seaching the net and i wasent to sure,at the moment its getting as much air pushed into the box as factory but is sucking more, im glad to have good feed back as i thought id be told put your factory one in an a k/n panel filter but the noise is great , this was done very professonal set me back 180 the guy had not experience in cars, no plans or design to work off i left the car at his work shop an he just made from scratch the setup has cost me 250.00 allup but when you take in to account what off the shelve ones are including shiping it aint to bad Edited July 14, 2007 by PBOY Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
