Right then guys - let see what info we can get
I could do with a new air filter for the car - and basically none of the local places sell them
so im toying with the idea of an induction kit ( cone filter )
seen some on ebay for not a lot of money ( inc a knightsport one )
SO.....
are they easy to fit ?
what happens with the pipe from the air pump ?
errr thats about it really
not looking for perforamce gains ( should get about 4bhp tops ) - mainly looking at decluttering the engine bay
is this a safe route to follow - or am i wasting my time ??
im hoping to run this with a fully decat exhaust system
idea/suggestions would be great
If we can make this a good thread - i will make it a sticky later on - or will add it to bretts thread about mods and make that a sticky
having looked thru the 2nd gen section - we seems to go over things a lot of times - so its about time that i pulled my finger out and sorted this section out once and for all :) ( he says LOL )
thanks
Stu

......and for the ram air max flow kit
MAXFLOW FILTERS SYSTEM
RAMAIR Max Flow filter systems have been technically designed and developed to increase the air flow which maximises the engine\'s performance.
The engineered design of the housing in combination with internal filter utilises the cold air flow and in turn provides your engine with more power and torque.
At the same time the Max Flow filter system gives you an improved engine bay look and a superb induction roar.
Fitting instructions included to ease DIY fitment
Cold air ducting kit included
hope this helps
cheers col
p.s wen did u become a mod grinder?
If you buy the K&N induction kit it comes with a fitment for the airpump hose. :)
so if you dont buy a K&N where does the pipe go ??
and col : i have been a mod for probably the last 12 months :)
sorry mate i didnt even notice---lol lol
U will need to fit a little crank case breather type filter to it. I have one if you need it.
brett , stick my name on it and bring it to RS :)
cheers fella
and was thinking about something like :
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=52640&item=4551968157&rd=1
Yeah, if you go for that one you will need the other filter. txt me on Friday night to make sure I\'ve packed it! :D
no probs matey
so what did you think about the air filter - i dont think its anything facny though
TBH A filter is a filter, as long as you steer clear of the steel mesh ones you should be alright.
why stay clear of steel mesh ones - i thought thats what the K&N ones were ??
all confused now
Take this conversation elsewhere you two...
You are tempting me to jump in and add my usual 2 p..... :flamed
IMO the steel mesh ones dont offer enough filtration.
Trex, cmon, jump in, there hasnt been a good flaming on here for weeks.....:rollin
come on trex - we need you opinion now matey !!
