I know, greedy tw*ats lol still worked out cheaper than going through a UK vendor

Yea I felt the difference straight away after I put the SRI on a while back, but there is noticeable difference when having the Airduct, pulls a bit more and adds a bit more grunt lol, Cooler air helps but the fact more air is getting to the engine quicker anyway makes a heap of difference

Looking nice Chris.....

That front box is huge 6 x 4 ?

Mandrel bent tubing.... that's what I wanted.....

Two straight through box's.... should sound well... hows the 3K rpm (2800 - 3250/3500) drone on the Mway ?

I like the back box. Looks clean. I also like the sliced off before the flange stock box. To hell with trying to undo those rusty bolts.

Yea it does look the part lol, as for the box I have no idea what he put on it, he just told me that he made up and added that box after realising the one he was going to put on originally wouldn't have done much, its great for noise, around 30ish mph around town, just a subtle hum/rumble, put your foot down and it fires up wonderfully, on motorway its good, 60mph you only hear it a little bit from inside, and the volume only goes up slightly when you hit 70mph, but on a side note, I think ive gained midrange pull but lost noticeable low rev pull, at times I felt like I was being sucked into my seat when I had just CS intake and airduct + short shifter+stock exhaust, overall im super happy with it so far

The guy had to hack the back box off because just after the flange of the back box, basically what the pic shows, it was rotten and I had a rattle under the car whenever I shut the boot, that rattle was my exhaust starting to separate over the rear axle lol
