HOW TO: BG Intake Mod - make your car sound cool

DIY WAY to make your car sound cool for bg.pictures up later

lol today i got bored and was looking at my afm and saw the pipe that comes out from under the afm which is the one that sucks the air in that goes down from the filter then up into the fender.so i thought i would see what it would sound like with the pipe off from the filter into the fender.

10 minutes later i when for a drive love it, it sounds so cool from 3500rpm and can be quiet when you foot is not down hard

does not require any cutting just take that little s shaped pipe out it just pulls apart

So your just sucking unfiltered air ?

project.r.racing · 24-08-2009, 05:23 AM

nope it is attached to the airbox. he is sucking air from underneth the airbox no, not from accross the exhasut manifold.

michael0008 · 24-08-2009, 09:04 AM

so is this taking the whole resonator out then applying a filter where it was?

Cosmo Dude · 24-10-2009, 01:58 PM

The standard air filter box stays, the pipes that feed air to it go.

S373N · 24-10-2009, 02:00 PM

can a filter be applied to the inlet though?

Cosmo Dude · 24-10-2009, 02:08 PM

Sure why not, you'll just need an adapter.
If memory serves me correctly, and I believe it does, I found that the VL Commo adapter fit straight onto the 929 FE afm and the Z18T afm. Don't know about the BG, I couldn't be assed going to the wreckers to find one today, maybe tomorrow.

BTW. I need a BG afm for a little project I have going ATM.

S373N · 24-10-2009, 02:26 PM

by adapter do u mean small to large sort of thing?

Cosmo Dude · 24-10-2009, 02:45 PM

more flat to round

S373N · 24-10-2009, 03:14 PM

are they a well established product?

can i find them at an autoparts store?

70NYD · 24-10-2009, 03:24 PM

it bolts to a MAF which has a flat face with a round entery, but no protrusion on which a hoze or a air filter (pod) can be mounted... this adapter makes this protrusion

Maybe, probably but no guarantee.

Us forum folk can only guide you so far, the remainder of you journey is yours...

shaikaka · 28-10-2009, 11:25 AM

put the pipe on upside down, thats what i did.

pete101 · 28-10-2009, 11:59 AM

i don't suppose someone could give a step-by step instruction on doing this? i've googled a bit but can't seem to find any clear instructions.

this may sound stupid as well, but are there any downsides or risks in doing this?
