Hi kids,

I've been browsing around your site, and wondering if I could get a quote?

I'm looking (in the very short term) at upgrading induction and exhaust on my Supe (j spec TT auto).

a) What would you recommend? (I'd like a nice sound from the exhaust, but neighbour waking is not required:))
b) How much is it? :)

I've heard good things about the Hiper but I think it's probably too loud.. I don't really like the 'bean can' look of the big exhausts, however if it's unavoidable then - oh well.

I'd also like a nice induction setup, however I'm not looking at making a 600bhp monster, I'm only really looking at doing these mods at this point in time :)

Any help appreciated :) Feel free to reply here or email me, pulse@web-axis.net

cheers :)

Thanks Gaz :)

Those are decent prices :) Though I'm a little unsure about selling you my soul? You sure I won't need it? :D

Is there anything else I'll need to do this little project? My car is completely stock mechanically, so it's the air filter and exhaust I'm looking at.

You mentioned using the stock air box, is this the best foot forward? When my mechanic took the box apart and took the filter out he showed me what it sounded like and it made such a nice 'dump valve' woosh sound when the pressure was released .. would I pick this sound up (ie, much louder so you can hear the release properly when driving) just with the filter in a standard box, or would the whole thing need to be replaced? Or do I really need a bigger BOV?

Cheers again :)

Pulse,

We aim to please :)

Yeah I gave you a quote for both an air induction kit or a filter. Its a personal preference and I always suggest both.

If you got rid of the stock air box you could hear the noise more, but the best bet is if you like noise is to get an aftermarket blow off valve, like the HKS SQV or the Blitz SuperSound BOV.

If you go for the induction kit I would recommend a cold air box to keep the air intake temps down when losing the stock air box.

Best Regards,

Gaz.

Thanks Gaz :)

If I were to go for a BOV (as well as air filter or induction kit and exhaust), do I need anything else, or just the BOV?

Cheers :)

As long as it has the fitting kit for the Supra, no :)

You have 3 items in your basket.

Total: £865.85

YOU EVIL BASTARDS!

I'm going to have to get the credit cards out again, aren't I? :) Let me evaluate my finances, but will probably be ordering Monday :)

HKS SSQV Blow Off Valve Kit
Blitz Nur Spec R Exhaust
Apexi Power Intake

Do you have all this in stock? I may or may not go with the BOV, I don't know about 219 quid to make it go "psshhht" :D Does the power intake come with the air filters, or do I have to buy them seperately?

Cheers :)

Hey Gaz,

I forgot about your advice for the cold air box.. I can't find one on your site under cooling or air filters?

Do you sell them? Where might I look?

Cheers

Heya Gaz,

Any word on the pictures? Also, how much is the cold air box? Would like to have it arrive at the same time as the other bits (did that delivery you were waiting for arrive?) so I can get everything done at once while waiting for the exhaust :)

(Sorry, not trying to sound impatient:))

Cheers

Gaz, mate I'm interested in the cold air box with Apexi Power intake too. Can you send me info or post in this thread too. Sorry to be a pain. :)

Hi Guys, I am currently developing the cold airboxes as we speak. The prototype is being tested and I should have some finished units available by the end of next week although it may be a little longer depanding on if you prefer the lid to be polished or chromed.

The price for the Apexi intake is as on our website and I am expecting them in any day now, with the next shipment!

Hope that helps.

Please note, this is a standard lid which isn't polished or chromed unlike the production models :)

Gaz.
