<strong>Ok, I've read about improving your throttle response by fitting a K&N filter (or any other make).
Now you can improve it further by making the air flow easier towards that filter. You can achieve this by fitting the air intake of the V6 engine instead of the TS-versions. Is that correct? Would this have the same result as a extremely expensive 'Madeno Air intake system' that costs 250 euros?

And what about all those nice shiny air intake kits that you see from Novitec or Autodelta? In which way could these systems be better than the combination of a new airfilter and the V6 intake?
Or is the only plus that it's shiny?

Please explain this Technology Dumbo
Thanx in advance

As far as I know, the metal intake pipes don't contract under high suction pressure like rubber or plastic ones do. This is more crucial on supercharged or turbo-charged engines that run high boost pressure. (Hence, you see them on modified Skylines and Supras.)

Given the same filter, I don't think the pipe materials will make any difference on our cars, IMO.
