So i just changed the intake pipe on my TS as per what was suggested on AO.
i ordered the GTA intake and it is a whole lot smoother and the mouth is wider than the v6 pipe cost me $75 nzd (about 25pounds)
it took me about 1hr to complete.. the hardest part was getting the old resonator of the airbox, i actually managed to crack the the pipe inlet on the airbox in doing so but the new intake pipe fitted so snug i had no worries about the seal.
the resonator is huge and i'm glad to get rid of it probably weights about 4 kg, knowing that a short smooth pipe is in there instead is peace of mind.
i had to zip tie on the pipe to the chasis as there was no connection point to screw on the pipe.
ANYWAY.. as soon as i started up i noticed a sound difference.. slightly deeper idle note from the intake.
Incar the noise only increased slightly but def a noticable difference with reaction on the accel pedal.. especially in 3rd <3000rpm and generally through the gears with reaction <3000 being slightly quicker and more responsive at all rpm.
my girl borrowed the car today and she did a drive by a couple of times hard on acceleration (she loves my alfa) and i noticed a Major difference with increase induction/engine note and noise.. it made me smile!!
SO: GTA INTAKE PIPE UPGRADE FOR TWINNIES
Quicker / better throttle response <3000 +
INCAR induction note- slight increase
OUTSIDE CAR induction note -Major increase
BETTER cold start response
Basically a cheap, fun & easy way to make your alfa a bit better!
