No tune. No dramas. Supposedly the computer adapts after 100km or so. Having a CAI might be a different story, though...

Is the above the Apollo you guys used? Is it cheaper than this one below just because it's plain and black? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/K-N-Cold-...#ht_1404wt_905

Yeah I wanted to get the silver one but it was like $60 more so just stuck with black.
Exhaust is on and I'm enjoying it! Double tip turned down and I only went with a 2" from catback, he said any more will just make a droning noise so figured I'd listen to the guy who does this as a job, and honestly I wouldn't want it any louder. So thumbs up for Performance Exhaust Ringwood! http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10150289236591073

Pics post lowering springs. Yes, I know the wheels aren't big enough, but I think that size and amount of lowering is the best ride compromise for me.
A before shot for comparison...

You boys have just about talked me into this. It's not something I'd ever have considered before coming to this place. Talk about bad influence...
Let me get it straight, since I'd rather ask stupid questions before I take things apart than after. The extra 12mm hose is to connect the existing crankcase breather line directly into the Apollo unit? It doesn't replace the hose altogether, just gets linked to it? And the MAF sensor doesn't need to be relocated?

I was confused but it's amazingly simple once you look at it all.

I also got a 1m long 12mm hose, but you could easily get about 70cm or so, i'd shorten it but it was a ***** to get the old clip into the end of the hose i don't wanna do it again

I also used the 12mm hose as a total replacement for the crankcase breather line. Yes, you end up hacking up your original breather line but if you ever need to return it to stock, you could easily pick one up from a wrecker. |

Mine was easy to get on for some reason. I remember using a slither of engine oil as lubricant to slip the hose on.

Was a little joke yesterday saying they removed the pod as part of the payment because no one could hear it anymore.

Now ordered from the US of A for exactly $140 Oz. Not sure how long it'll take to get here, but hopefully quicker than the 3 weeks the Eibach springs took to arrive from Germany.

While we've all got the mod bug... who's willing to go the distance and get a hi flow cat?
I've heard you can hollow out the stock ones but that sounds dodgy. Once you start with the mods it's very hard to stop!
