New Exhaust Pics, And CAI info/talk Options

[KAMiX]

Hey all. Just got half the exhaust put on and it's great. Its a custom 2.25" mandrel bent (one crush bend) stainless system with a resonator and a straight thru muffler. They didn't have enough time this weekend to do the whole lot, so next weekend I'm going to get a custom header fabricated, downpipe, possibly a new cat (exhaust bloke reckons it's all good) and a full custom stainless CAI.






With the CAI we are going to spend some serious time thinking about where to put the filter / pipe. The two real choices I think are:

1. In the front left fender (we would cut a bigger hole through the engine bay). Really interested in feedback on this cos I haven't ripped off the plastic under guards yet.

2. Or under the powersteering unit / battery. Which I think would probably require relocation of the powersteering unit, the battery, the top hose on the radiator, or all three.

Any thoughts? I don't think I've seen anything other than a short ram intake on a 5S-FE engine before.




Sorry about the flash it was getting dark.

Kamix, you dont need to custom fab a header. Genie and Hurricane make one for the 5SFE so that might save you a few bucks. For the intake system, the stock one will work fine if you cut out the sealed box in the wheel arch and just join a pipe from the front of the car to the existing plastic piping that is the stock air intake like in your first picture.

Good luck
