I see that there is a choice of intakes for the VXR8 owners, either the Orssom over the radiator type, or the Wortec system (no heat shield?)Which one is best? and why is there nothing for the Monaro, other than a K*N panel filter, together with cutting an extra hole in the air filter box!

Got the before. Not done the after yet. It certainly sounds awesome and apparently feel's better. Looks great too.

Yeah if you hadnt butchered yours mate I might have been interested in it. You will have to sell it to the Mafter Stig. I do like the Orssom ones. They look OEM.

With the Duspeed OTR you will have to loose the Maf and this is not everyones cup of tea.

The Orsomm OTR as fitted to Donk is a good unit judging by his dyno figures.

Stig asked about dyno figures for the Dus. As he well knows, we tune our cars for performance as read by improvements in track times.

Dyno figures sell engines and after market bits. Faster cars win races.
