rev through easier, like to 5500 heaps smoother. you will definately notice the difference. if you havent already done soi buy a ram flo (or simmilar) the same day and put that on before you drive iot away from the exhaust shop then you will really feel the difference.

yea, i'm thinking of doing the same thing, i got a bored, 1600, just the main guts of it have been re-done, and i am thinking of doing the exhaust+extractor bit.

just the thing is don't want it too loud, and don't know about wot sizes n shit like that 2 get.

how much will i it cost me if i do the job myself, and is it a simple bolt off the one one, and screw on the new one?

also, wot is a ram flo?

thanx. chris.

well a increase of about 10% should be found depending on how old the motor is but about 2 inch systrem is recommended
The ram flo is a aftermarket filter just go to the auto shop and ask for a sports filter for your gem.

If it has a holley/weber then it wont bve hard to get a after market air filter

It is a straight bolt up job, swap one with the other, but getting the bend over the diff is a real bitch. Im doing it while im replacing the shocks and springs in the ass end so i can get at it easier, really dont want to have to cut the thing up. Just cant seem to get it over there.
