• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

Starting to Mod

Its not really the building of it that worries me, its the getting it installed that worries me...

Im a huge fan of Plug-n-Play lol
But I guess with this, I'll actually have to spend some time to get the result I want

Yeah I know where you're coming from, I had to have a friend help me cuz I'd never touched an engine before I bought the GP. The hardest part is cutting into the fender.
 


Thats kinda why I wanted one of the ones from ebay.

If it was gonna give me ALMOST as good performance and ALMOST as good sound, I could buy one, and then when I get more experience (or get someone to help me) I could go with the FWI
 
Read read read...best advice I can give you. Then read some more after you think you know everything because you won't.
 
If you really don't think you can do an FWI, just go open cone.
An ebay intake is pretty much 100% useles andwont really give you the sound you want at all. An open cone gives almost as good of gains as an FWI, and sounds pretty sick.

Do you know of any links or anything to anything about open cones? I havent heard of that one yet, and like I said

Performance > Sound lol

Ricers can kiss my ass

Open cone is the closest you'll get performance AND sound wise to an FWI. I'll find you a pic. It's pretty much just a cone filter straight off the throttle body.
 


Yeah kind of, except you don't need that bend or that big of a filter.
You literally just rip everything out and run the filter straight off the TB.
Ask bio for a pic, he's obsessed with open cones :p, he'll be happy to send you one.
Also, as far as the IAT sensor goes, you just ziptie that next to the filter.
 
It's ugly under her dress but, I guess ill have to whore it...

Open cone wont be the best thing for him starting off modding...an open cone doesn't come in handy until you are running lots of boost IMO...but it looks like this.

I know an FWI would be better but he doesn't want to do that, so open cone is his best option from there.

Maybe...but for the most part it isn't the best option as one of his first mods...closet to the fender the better. Not saying it isn't going make an improvement but it isn't going be as good as he thinks.
