davefrith - how much is gruppeM and what comes with it ?

No holiday spending money! :rollin

[davefrith]

sorry £450 for a bit of plastic is pretty excessive

but each to their own, it looks nice I suppose  

[mr_tim]

hand layed carbon fibre :p keeps heat soak to a minimum I guess the price is dictated by the bulk of their target market - Fezza owners;)

[davefrith]

Wow that\'s a cheap respray:bandit

I did a fair bit of testing with different airfilters for my old 5GTT and putting the standard airbox back on gave a fair amount more torque lower down than any induction kit did and nowadays a lot of people in the GTT community running big power have gone back to using an OE airbox with K&N replacement filter, i mean at the end of the day many millions had probably been spent designing the thing in the first place, at a compromise maybe, but it is definitely better than sucking in hot air. Induction kits can definitely flow better at higher rpm due to less restrictions etc, but you really have to have a very good flow of cold air to the filter. So the GruppeM is definitely the best of both worlds and is probably worth the premium, maybe, :confused:

I\'m at Abbey on Thursday so will see what they can advise in terms of shielding

Has anyone tried the Racing Beat cold air intake thingummy - I\'m thinking of getting one but i would be interested if anyone has any feedback on it.

cheers

the GruppeM is awesome

Looks good, sounds good, and does its job even better.   It was a shame about the price, but you dont see many carbon fibre air boxes with  a near direct feed from the bumper.  I love mine.

and so you should my friend
