Yea, that's what I've been thinking. There's just no road around here where I think I can safely go over 120. The road I used to max it at 120 was great, but not long enough, and the roads that are long enough aren't in good enough condition or there's too much traffic.


Whatever the record is, I'm confident I can beat it.


It functions a ton better than the stock system, that's for sure. Haven't had the time to take out the box yet. Hopefully I'll get that done today.

1. there is no ebrake trick. you will just fucking kill yourself...dont pull it.
2. you have to beat my record....good luck.
3. get rid of the stock airbox at least, FFS

+1 to that.

at least if i do anything ricer it comes off within a few days. anyone at travapalooza see my strobe lights you do it outa boredom, you know its gunna look ricer, put it in, get your laughs, then it goes byebye! but you seem to have missed that last step...

you cant actully think any of that looks cool or good do you?

[HtownTurboBrick]

I hope you realize that "e-brake trick" is a trick definitely. A trick for you to KILL yourself, it's not a trick kid, you will lock up at 120 mph loose control and kill yourself. The sarcasm was beyond what your brain can comprehend and you believe it, don't ever fucking try it if you value you're life at all.

Go learn about modding your car before doing crap yourself. If you have no idea how something works, you shouldn't try it until you effin learn about it first.

And i think the negative rep record to beat is Dave 7 VII 7

Hanks how'd you get a negative rep?

its not no road you can do it safely on, its you dont have enough if any experience to do it.

Here lets attempt to fix this.

Step one take out the oem air box
step two move the air filter
step three make a heat sheild

Step 4 cut your pipe shorter and reattatch the tip so it fits flush with the bumper and level to the ground

The tip will still be ugly but if you like it well thats up to you

OMG! How did I miss this thread? I am saving a link to this good stuff - it will put a smile on my face at work. To the OP, you sir need to discover the term Tasteful mod, or at least tasteless done well...

After careful consideration I have decided to remove the exhaust tip. When I put it on I didn't think about it too much, but it really does look ghetto.
As for the airfilter- I took out the top of the air box and put the filter directly on the intake pipe. Before taking out the bottom of the box, I wanted to ask what the silver pipe going to the box is. It goes from the back of the engine compartment all the way up to the front left corner of the air box. Another question I have is, how important is it for the filter to be facing forwards? Right now it's facing directly to the right. Thanks to those who are helping.

I'm 18. When I was 17 my car got forged internals. Not fucking pep boys bolt ons.

I think the best thing you can honestly do, is hang out with people who actually like cars, and know how to mod a car.

[project_850]

Lose the tip, and fix the redundancy and design of your intake. By the way, that blue urethane hose, even though it's ribbed on the outside..is actually nice and smooth on the inside. We use those hoses to spray thermal and acoustical insulation and they are probably the cheapest, and closest thing you can get to mandrel bends.

Part of my home-made CAI, which terminates at the driver side grille of the front bumper, is 3" urethane hose. I've datalogged and monitored the MAF and O2 sensors for 30 minutes after I put it on and nothing points to anything out of the ordinary It does look ghetto though, and eventually I'll be fabbing up my own 3" aluminum piping for the intake to match the bling factor of my iPD RIP kit.

I guess that "silver" pipe is the pipe that connects your air intake to your turbos. The placement of the air filter does not matter. Quick fix, start from scratch, remove the top of the filter box and drop in a K&N. It will basically do nothing but at least you have added something correctly to your car. Just read the forums, there isn't a lot about S80 modifications, but you can gain a better idea of where to start. I hope this helps you young arob.

LOL. defensive much? and my first car ran 9's. thats not what i mean exactly. Im 30, when I was 17 i was an idiot, and I think anyone else who is honest with themselves should have about the same opinion... otherwise you havent grown. dont get me wrong Im still an idiot!

I do have to give the op credit, he is taking this abuse better then I would have...

way to man up!!!

[C70drvr]

I'm sure he's just "new" to car modding.

[RZT5]

DO NOT DO THIS E-BRAKE TRICK YOU SPEAK OF. if done at the high speeds you are talking about you WILL flip an S80 on stock suspension and possibly kill yourself in the process. You probably wont want to wrap your mind around the concept of driving safe for a few more years, but please try to at least for the sake of others who do not want to collide with a car going 120 on backroads.

you have come a long way since the first post in this thread, there may be hope for you yet. keep asking questions and thinking stuff through.

your not gonna gain much if any power with just a better intake on that engine, but you will be able to get some nice sound out of it if thats what your into. Get rid of the bottom of the box for starters and keep the filter directly on the maf. dont know what the silver pipe is, i'll try to find out for you on my parents S80 tomorrow. You may lose an hp or two from doing this because you will suck in hot air, but nothing noticeable. Making a heat shield will get you back this power plus maybe 1 hp if you do it right and your filter is a good quality one, but again nothing you will notice. no heatshield will be the loudest though. It does not matter which way the cone is facing.
