Haha what an elitest GT42r, if you want to mod a v6 mod a v6. Just make sure to implement turbo for maximum enjoyment lol

Yep, I agree. I got a Quiketz intake before Caldoofy appeared on the scene, and wrapped it as shown below. Worked great! At any time of year, after any kind of driving, I can grip that tube for any length of time with no discomfort at all. Without the tape, had to pull away immediately.

futile effort? how so? and better double check mina's website, it fit my car just right, they offer the intake for the v6 as well.. i was just concerned why no1 had posted about it... but so far no problems with it and it feels a bit more "alive" and i like it, ill post a picture someday when i have more time

I'm referring to the caldoofy intake tube. It is STR specific.

It's arguable whether or not the mina open element filter increases power. There is certainly more induction noise though.
