Where to get a CAI in Sydney?

Postby untamedkid » Wed Jul 29, 2015 9:57 am

Hey guys,
I have a 2004 Subaru liberty GT, and was wondering where I could get a decently priced Cold air intake/short ram intake around Sydney??

Thanks heaps :?:

What others mods do you have (or have planned)? Has the car been tuned? A CAI is of little benefit on a stock car.

I can vouch for the quality of the product mentioned above, but your money might be better spent elsewhere first.

The only other mods planned for the next few months are just mufflers + exhaust.
I'm planning to get the CAI/Short ram as a safer option of a BOV since it amplifies the sound of the stock BOV with less risk of an aftermarket BOV.

Please correct me if i'm wrong and throw all your suggestions for another path I should take, I would love to hear your opinions so much !!

Remove the resonator "milk bottle" from the bottom of the air filter box. Costs nothing and will probably give you 90% of what you're looking for.

If you do go down the path of a CAI or changing the silicone intakes you should really get a tune (for safety - with the added benefit of performance).
So you need to factor that cost in. I think it unwise to install a CAI/silicone intake and leave the car un-tuned.
You should also get a tune if you are getting a full exhaust from the turbo back.

You can get aftermarket hybrid BOV's which are subtle on light throttle and only "whoosh" on WOT pedal release.
The "risk" is low having an aftermarket BOV. Your general driving will attract more unwanted attention than what you have hidden under the bonnet.

+1 to Kiwigene's comments

From what i gather from my own asking, for the Kobe Silicone inlet - you should be good without a tune - but a tune is always beneficial (pretty certain i still have one of these sitting in my back seat to get fitted)
Although a CAI fitted without a tune will be very dangerous..- As in don't even fit it & then still have to drive somewhere to get your tune done.

Anyways this was the info i listened to,

Good luck & have fun, GT's are great ;)
