pods on carbys can sometimes **** em up.

it can be some what ghetto but MOST ppl head to bunnings or somewhere similar and get some sort of large diameter(3" etc) plumbing/piping etc and run from somewhere in the front of your car (air dam for example) to the airbox.

u can BUY these sorta things, its more like a $20/saturday after job.

most ppl run this sorta thing regardless of what motor/intake they have.

u have a carby. carbys dont like long intake pipes or CAI. they like breathing 360', all around. get 2 small motorbike filters and remove the stock airbox. attach em directly to the carbys. thats ur best gain.

Agreed.. dont bother with cai on carbies.. it;ll just make ur car slower.. either get ramflo filters, mushroom filters or motorbike filters.. much betta outcome ova a cai...
i gotta dual carb btw..
