It only looks right on yellow and red cars. Too retro and not made by Perana Louvers so...

I had a similar experience ... Installed a radio and new speakers in my prado.... Improvemnet was not as great as anticipated...installed an amp and 8" sub and now very satisfied with the sound.

Would you know if it is good idea to disconnect the battery to reset the ECU to handle the new airflow, or leave it and let the ECU adjust on its own?

Razzle · 02-04-2013, 10:25 AM

It supposed to adjust on it's own from what I've read.

SO......
How does it sound?

Good question but I dont know the answer ... i read somewhere on this forum about disconnecting the battery but didnt read thoroughly. I know for the 20valves they used to do this...and then tramp it for a couples of km's once reconnected

I will not disconnect battery now, ride it for a few days, but when I do Dyno then I will disconnect.

The engine has more of a ticking sound while idling, when you hit the throttle you hear a sucking sound. Have not taken her out yet pouring with rain here.

hopefull stops and I get a gap to

Razzle · 02-04-2013, 10:39 AM

That's the best time to go.
