Air filters (twin)

[gsb876]

Do twin air filters (induction kits) produce more power than the single ones?

Currently have just a large single on the end of the turbo thinking of doing demon tweeks and fitting a double large cone unit any ideas?

Pics below of mine, sorry if its too large not sure how to compress?

Also will a twin fit? if anyone has any pics of a double unit please post so i can calculate possiblities?

Thanks in advance:

Forgot to add:

Can you get units to point in opposite directions as there wont be room to get two in the same way as the intercooler is quite close?

Seeing as you have the big single, getting twin filters would be poinltess really.  They would both go to the same place, so you wouldnt gain anything.

Would it be possible to get a bigger single filter? as the one i have looks quite dirty and old?

I think alot of people have said its better to get a new one rather than clean the older ones? is this true?

It looks like a HKS one, and if it is you can just buy replacement filter elements.

Lee\'s right, just get a HKS replacement. Most ther cone filters wont fit due to rad location.

Think the only way you could make the single better would be to get it a feed of cold air, i.e. relocating the filter  to a hole in the bonnet in the air flow, or a gap in the nose.  lot of work though for comparatively little gains.

Thanks for the info guys, any ideas where i can purchase a replacement filter???
And any cost ideas???

Any HKS dealer should have them.  you just need to make sure you get the right size as they come in two different sizes.

Im not sure on price, probably around £20-25.  It was about £30 last time I got replacement filters, but you need two smaller ones for my set up and I think one bigger one is cheaper.

It is easy enough to cut the bigger one down to size with scissors. But I would imagine that it would be a bigger one you are after anyway. (matron :rollin )

At the mo the closest one to me is Scoobiworld in loughborough, who although cater for the obvious, will no doubt have something to fit a rx?

I may just get a new unit not sure yet, a nice crome one would be cool no?

But i\'ll see ya sunday Si, might go down to Scoobi world tomorrow as loughborough is like 10mins away.

Sadly they dont seem to have any HKS goodies thou & er i\'d be & am tempted to look around for best option/deal as P&P aint usually an issue but lettice no how you go.... Blitz chrome shiny bling bling types do look great & suck a load of air although it depends how badly you need clean air as well but it\'s better than no induction kit at all.....
