I love Olive...my F50....but she sounds like a BEEOTCH!!!

I want to hear that VK growl a little. Does anyone know where I can get a CAI or POP? I want a system that replace everything from the TB and up. I don't want the resonator or anything.

Point me in the right direction, Fellas.

Thanks...

How is the space for a DIY home depot product?

Nahh. Just take off everything in front of the TB, rev it up to 5K rpm and throw a handful of dirt down it. Same effect, less money spent, and she will sound super beeeotchee before she chokes.

Keewwelll!

Then I'll assume no one knows. Nothing good on eBay....nothing from Stillen.

I guess it time for turbopiping.com and a hacksaw.

People on here swear it's going to kill your engine, or like Maxnix said, "throwing dirt" into it, yet, what do they use on off-road race vehicles? Like in the Dakar rally? Oh, right, they use oiled air filters, to race thousands of miles across dirt AND sand.

Personally, I believe that the oil getting on the MAF is an issue as the MAF is directly behind the filter box, but the whole dirt issue, well, no one, including myself, that I know who's actually used a K&N or other oiled type of filter has EVER had a problem because of them.

Cliff notes: no one on here will help you in your quest, no one makes one for your Q, better off leaving it as it is and put a nice exhaust on it so you get some sounds.

BTW, your Q looks pretty nice, got more pics of it?

I'm going custom. Tb -> intermediate pipe -> MAF -> down tube into wheel well -> filter.

This is the standard CAI design....tried and tested on nearly every make and model of vehicle back to days of hot-rod building.

I still need to dyno before I add it. If I want to show proven gains then I need a baseline.

Here are some pics:
