CAI - Well Visually, the air now going into the airbox is coming from the bumper - the inlet into the airbox, is far lower than the "snail" inlet. Living in Darwin, a CAI is probably a little too dangerous (see 440mm of rain in one day last week...)

The box for K&N filters suggests 4.x CFM for a panel filter and 8.x CFM for a pod in terms of air flow.

The thing I like about the current sound is the ability to cruise and accelerate incognito, as long as you dont go beyond 80% ish throttle - perfect for transporting older family members.
But, when the urge takes me - (i.e. every single time I drove alone) full throttle sounds rorty, but another decibel or two would be nice.

The K&N panel filter costs $144 new from Repco. Can anyone recommend it for improved response, bang for buck wise?

(I expect negligible or zero actual power increase. )
