Interesting mod, I might have to mod up my spare airbox top to see what it's like myself. Some more induction noise could be good, as long as it's not too much lol.

Cheers

um, good question. only on the felt i think.
i had an EL ebow on before this, and it did. but these pipes are as low as they can go.- ie; the 180 pipe is sitting pretty much on the rocker cover and the 45 pipe is on the manifold.

if the pipe is on the rocker cover than that is bad. The heat will loose air cos u need the air cold cos it compressers n gets tight fitting more in the engine hence the word cold air intake. U should get some heat sheild foil.

Would not worry about that one bit, the air is moving with enough velocity that there would not be enough time to suffer heat soak, you would get more heat soak via the BBM than what it would be subjuect to for the brief moment of time it is in contact with the rocker cover. I would however be glueing something like a neoprene (wetsuit material) piece onto the rocker cover to protect to two surfaces from each other. you probably dont want your rocker cover and air intake rubbing away on each other.

well ill explain better. there is no metal on metal contact, the U pipe is pretty much just resting on the throttle/cruise cables, and the silicon hose is sitting on the BBM.
i do understand how an internal combustion engine works, but thanks anyway.
the car runs on gas mostly, so really the whole intake pipe was probably a waste of time since it has a 45mm restriction at the gas ring, i did it for more neatness and looks.
time for a better photo i think!

its been proven that the stock T/B on a I6 can flow more then enough for all N/A and 98% of boosted applications, so a twin T/B setup is pure wank factor. no performance gain

I went from a standard ef falcon intake with a blocked paper filter to a twin T/B twin pod setup and took .3 off my quarter. i did it because i could and i didn't see anyone else with that kind of setup. the battery's are both in the boot so there was some room in the engine bay. I am a P plater so i cant have forced induction . I also did the whole manifold myself and got it to idle better with the cam. The best thing about it is the induction roar from 3500 rpm to the limiter. And the fact that i can say that i did it myself and it works

Wow dude, all done yourself, Great work! If there was no gains from dual or more Tb's, why are the guys running ITB's getting good results out of them, just as you have gotten good results, by knocking off .3 off your 1/4 mile time. I'd say that's a good improvement in power!

James84 -> Maybe you should swap to a gas research setup if your looking for more power on LPG?

Cheers

definitely are some clever guys here because some of these Cold air intakes you have shown are Magic & works of art.
But there are quite a few dodgy jobs as well, The one with the Pringals can for tubing WTF??? and the the one that looked like the sillastic had been applied with shovel.
Damn,,, all I can say is that a man has got to know his limitations & there are some things that should be kept a secret .......
