Chris and Alana Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Hi there guys, Yes I know its not much and yes I could of changed the size of my restrictor ring but I got a 1psi gain from fitting polished hard SMIC pipes and putting my apexi power intake (open cone) back on. I got about 0.5 bar from each. I know because Iv been at 15psi for about a month, fitted the SMIC pipes got a bit more boost and fitted my filter today and Iv now got 16psi (1.1bar) its not like it was cold today either. Anyway I know its not brilliant news but I thought I would let people know that their are gains to be made with hard pipes and filters. The car feels alot more responsive aswell and I get 1.1 bar in 2nd and 3rd and just a little over in 4th. (auto) where as before I only got 15 psi in 3rd and a bit more in 4th. I think the hard pipes are a worth while upgrade as my rubber ones seemed to collapse a little when I reved hard, god knows what they are like when your driving and there under more load. Anyway Il shut up and heres a couple pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris and Alana Posted March 13, 2007 Author Share Posted March 13, 2007 I got them second hand off a member on here, although I think Miami GT do them for around the £150 mark. They look good and I thought they made my car abit more responsive and I got a bit more boost (probably why it felt better). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
