i am very interesting on this....but i got two questions..
- these can seems very fragile...after rev,more air will swirl into da engine rite?those cans wont affect and still able to swill the air after few days?
- i want to do this in my kancil,but sad...need to change the air suction pipe is it?other that that?i really dun wan pasang wat type R bla bla suction pipe and air filter lah...makes my car spending more petrol only... :(
