and took it for a drive. rev's a lot better at high RPM. what is the RPM limiter on the V8. is it 6,500, as it seems to find it now when before it use to run out of puff at about 6,000 RPM.

Trevor,does your car suddenly sound like a noisy piece of crap? mine did after doing a bfi was over it in 2 weeks. please let me know how your go with it. although i have heard that using a sink strainer rather than egg cups makes it quieter.

Weird Ben. I have the three egg cups and the noise difference is practically indiscernible.
Maybe your motor is a noisy piece of crap

Oops, sorry :-)

hey guys...i know its a bit late...but...have u considered inverting the air tube that feeds the box. then all you have to do is build a rectangular tube to join it to the upper front right slot in the bumper bar.[ V8 standard car..no inter cooler]. I have got the photos but cant upload, computer is playing up !!

The intake noise is fantastic, why would you want to make it quieter... its the heart and sole of the soarer that V8 induction roar - Love it!

Leave it factory if its not pleasant.

I cant see why you would dislike it... Unless your soarer has a problem making it sound like a noisy piece of crap? Sounds odd to me though..

BFI (Big Flow Intake or Big F***in Intake) is simply opening up the air intake box to allow more air! It aims on improving performance, similar to a cold air intake kit!

There are stacks of pages, just hit the search button, but here are some
