i got my set 4 $600, that was 1 year ago...

it all depends on the jap aussie dollar at the time, i reckon that price was bloody good compared to all the other brands n splitfires r reliable...

just dont expect any power gains lol :D ... they combined with NGK platinums stopped any missing n lasted really well... i was almost tempted to try the splitfire plugs??? dunno any1 thats used those tho???

ohok cool thanks man..

umm you wouldnt know a site i could go to where i could buy them at all??

so if they arent for any power gains... do they just last longer or what are some of the advantages of having them?

while im there what are some other good combinations to go with this mod? i've already got a pod heat shielded etc...

also one other question... would i notice any difference if i upgraded my cat to hi-flow? i only have stock piping.. but got the muffler and pod on there... i'll eventually get custom mandrel cat back piping would it make a difference going to a hi-flow cat aswell?

i went 2 a place called lynx that imported them 4 me, im not sure bout places up ur way... google is ur friend lol :D ... the only thing i found is that they were alot more reliable than other brands n they fixed up all of the ignition trouble i had like misfiring

best possible thing u can do exhaust wise is to get rid of any restrictions u can that are blocking exhaust gases, eg. mufflers, hot dogs, cats etc... Only problem is doing this will make ur car very much illegal

what u will be best doin is a full 2.5" exhaust including extractors (3" u will loose alot of low end power)... its up 2 u with stainless or mild steel, i did mild as it was cheaper n made a much betta sound :D ... put a hi flo cat in it (dont gut the cat lol)... a hi flo muffler with a nice big single or twin tip... that way it should be putting out about 90db which in nsw is legal, dunno bout qld tho... only trouble i found is that sitting on 3k revs it dronnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnned lol

Pod i would sell n leave the stock airbox n snorkle on it with a good K&N panel filter

N/As cost alot to get any big power gains! i would personally just do a nice simple cat back n work on suspension n handling

      He made that comment in my thread - In my case the vents ARE to lower engine heat, when the car is not moving, which is the only scenario I have heat problems with the aircon on, sitting in traffic, on 40C+ days. I can't imagine a scenario that this NC needs any at this point in time. I do not know if it will actually make my cooling when the car is MOVING worse, and I sincerely hope that won't be the case. If it does, well, um, f**k.

      Nice, thanks. Thats why I was asking, there'd been a fair bit of discussion in the E90 world about vents and where it makes sense to put one (ie, over the filters is not great as that is inline or slightly behind the struts and in higher pressure area). I struggle with air flow and pressures. It sill weirds me out that a radiator in the boot can work.

      Neither really Vents, when located in the right place, will lower the engine bay "pressure", as air has a path to escape, thus lowering the engine bay pressure, thus.....improving the efficiency on the coolant stack (read: IC, condenser, radiator) This is why the Blits vented bonnet on my 33 worked so well, the vent was in the front 1/3 of the bonnet, which put it right after the radiator  If the vents are to far back toward the windscreen, which is a high pressure zone, it can actually force air into the engine bay, causing higher pressure and effectively loosing efficiency on the cooling stack, like the fab of raising the rear of the bonnet, which does allow heat to escape, but only when the car isn't moving  There's heaps of cool "fluid dynamics" info out there, but, I'll attach a video of a 'Merican joint that focuses on "Miatas" as I found it when looking into vents for mine, they explain it way better than me

      Poor bleeding. That stupid damping loop in the plumbing that should be completely replaced with a braided hose. Just the first 2 that come to mind.

      Forgive the potentially silly question but are the vents for bay temps? I've been toying with how to reduce my bay temps because man, it gets HOT in there and a small subtle vent somewhere I think might help. Or, maybe they're to assist with just the intake temps?
