How's the noise though? It's not as bad as the Apexi one is it?

Didn't realise you thought the Apexi CAI was a "bad" noise... :(

I didn't think there would be a great deal of difference in noise between the Apexi & the HKS... After all, they are both practically the same if I'm not mistaken.

Personally, I do love the sound of a roaring CAI kit, but on the Liberty, I just want that. Dispite the fact it would be awesome, I just don't want to turn the car into something it isn't. Maybe its just me...?

New TMIC - HKS / AVO / HyperFlow - Any preference?

Have AVO TMIC and am very happy.

BOV - HKS SSQV / GFB GT - Is this worth while?

If you are running over 18 psi yes but otherwise you are forking out up to over $300 just for a noise.


HKS ES Premium Cat Back Exhaust - Have read the past post & I'm sold, especially at $1060!

Sounds cheap and I have a HiTech Cat Back, picked up 10kw with just cat back.

HKS Premium Suction Kit OR HKS Racing Suction Reloaded Kit.

Have HKS Panel filer and Samci Airbox hose.

GFB 3 Pulley Kit

Mixed thoughts not really woth it in my opinion

Then a full re-tune.

For retune talk to Paul Fisher before you you have anyone else look at it. He is based at Menai.

With the above and a few other mods I m very happy with my car as a daily driver, it goes very well but looks standard.
