Simple, cheap, sounds good but could be a lot better!!
I don't like oiled pod filters so any of the cheaper ones are alright I find. Needs something around it to keep out the hotter air, but works alright as is

you realise a stock air box would be better for your car then that yeah???
From my old GL, I took it out and its currently tarnished and got rust on places on it lol, I'll do it over in body colour for my VR6 when I have fewer things to do for it.

Just took out some of the plastic trim around the wheel arch amongst other things. It gets its air from behind the grill and the wheel well. It'll hopefully look a bit better once I smooth the bumps and do it body colour

Nice one Matty, your making us all jealous haha!

There is a whole lot of BS covering it, and haven't some people on here(looks at stu) removed that trim altogether, I'm not that game tbh. The actual wheel well trim has holes in it amongst other things.
Its a VR6, not some V8 or a turbo, it doesn't need that much air flow...
thats a heaps good idea i might pop downstairs and see what is possible thanks for opening a whole new world
Oh the piping is a good idea don't get me wrong, but making a custom intake and relocating the charcoal canister to fit, is really more trouble than its worth.
Play around with your stock airbox trim and resist the urge to butcher it, because you WILL need it again at some point... Unless you get a replacement bottom of course
Also, I have one thats been "swiss cheesed" well more like annihilated that you can have for nothing if you want to play around with more intake sound.
