Not sure why those pics are so large, but any way the final one... out with the seagull!



Now i need to sort out an aftermarket air filter. Am leaning towards a dry one... any advice/recommendations ?

Ok, so just took her out for a spin, initial observations:
a) definitely sounds better with a proper grunt now (am running oem exhaust) - it shows off the V8 more. I don't find it intrusive, and unless at WOT it's kind of a tad beefier, but you wouldn't say it's much louder... hell i love it
b) at WOT it feels better, id say it's definitely an improvement. Would it register on a dyno, possibly but minimal, does it help the car get moving, i'd say yeah.
c) no CELs. Temperature in Moscow today is just under freezing, and wet.

Overall am well pleased with it. No doubt it'll run better again with a new air filter in it, i didn't change that yet. Thanks for the help.

What tuner did you go for in the end and did it smash your mpg? Did you have anything other than standard headers or exhausts?

For anyone else looking for any more info on the system now it's installed, just to let you know my mileage has got better. Only slightly, but it all counts right ? Here in Russia, we measure mileage as the number of litres per 100km. Now before i was getting 24.5l per 100km, since the airdoc has been done (a month/ 2 tanks of 95 gas) am now getting a consistent 24.2... still no tune and i haven't changed out the airfilter yet, although am looking at an AFE 11-10088! Love that noise though, and she seems to change down less when increasing speeds on the highway etc.
