Default Ba i6 intake on Au i6 works!

G'day all, well i've just fitted my Ba intake onto my i6 Au and i can verify that theres a definate improvement- throttle response is a little better, low down power improved and midrange is stronger (top end i suspect is better too but i wont flog my car that hard on public roads lol!).

It gets to the speed limit easier and i'm constantly checking my speedo because im getting there a little bit quicker! I made up a little air deflector also and it seems to contribute to the overall performance gain. Im not bothering with a hi flow air filter but will fit a xr8 snorkel down the track.

Of course the gain isnt huge but for about $65 so far its worth it for sure. Over the next couple of weeks i'll be keeping an eye on fuel consumption to see if theres an improvement there too- Hope at the least its the same! I recommend this mod for someone who's looking to keep things stock looking under the bonnet & a first step into modding their Au's.

Any other members who want to do it & needs some info, give me bell and i'll happily help them out!

cheers,Maka
