The battery/ filter cover? @MarcR

 

[imprezaworks]

Ah thought you were referring to the breather filter lol

 

[182Brodie]

Yeah i was but that cover too haha i just want it all cheers for the link lads

 

[imprezaworks]

Glad you cleared that up lol. Been going through a think I'm mad stage currently

 

[Potatoes]

Just joined the party 2 years later amd have ordered the alloy pipe and cone filter, thanks @The Fatty

I'll probably make a stupid post about it on my Project Thread in a few weeks.

Very excited to install it having read this thread and watched a few YouTube videos

 

[imprezaworks]

This is a decent video for a comparison with stock

 

[Stay Puft]

I still cant get over how aggressive it sounds!

 

[imprezaworks]

And the Ktec which is louder

 

[imprezaworks]

 

[Jekyll]

Tunnel one looks like dartford tunnel. Needs to get off that clutch too

Ktec one does sound nice though, but for the money, this is a much better kit, if your comparing the 2 vs cost.

 

[Potatoes]

Yeah, the K-Tech one does sound better in those videos. For ~£35 though, it's a no brainer... but the K-Tech does sound good!

I'm confused. I've just ordered the ramair cone and a 90 degree ASH silicone elbow in red (obvs). Apart from jubilee clips, do I need anything else? I've seen others having to get joiner things?

 

[imprezaworks]

No you dont. Only need joiners if the filter and hose won't match up, which yours will. Have you got the metal pipe going to the filter?

You shouldnt even need any extra clips, the Ramair comes with one, and the other end of the metal pipe uses the OE one.

 

[Clio_fool]

You'll need a joiner and extra jubilee clip for the silicon elbow to join to the inlet elbow. I'm not sure that the silicon elbow is as long as the alloy one though, that's why most swap the inlet elbow with another silicon one?

 

[imprezaworks]

Most swap the inlet for a rubber one as it looks better and is a little less restrictive. Minimal.

 

[imprezaworks]

I'm assuming

Silicone throttle body elbow
Metal pipe
Cone filter

If so no joiner

 

[James H]

I'll just see if it fits when it turns up, I think that'll be easiest and save me buying things I don't need

 

[James H]

No metal pipe. I'm completely standard at the moment.

I opted for the red silicone purely for the colour. Soo... TB > Standard Elbow > Silicone Elbow > Ramair? In which case i won't need joiners?

Oh yeah sorry misread you first post:
OE elbow-->OE clip-->70mm alloy joiner-->new Clip-->90degree silicone elbow--> new Clip-->70mm alloy joiner-->Ramair clip-->Ramair filter.
You need the joiners as you cant tighten a clip on to a soft silicone hose against a soft oe elbow and a soft ramair filter!
You chose the expensive way!

[imprezaworks]

Yep will need a joiner

My set up will be for sale later if anyone new fancies trying it

Is the larger filter too

 

[James H]

Does everyone remove the air feed from behind the front wheel arch when doing this? Feels a bit... tight

The pipe that goes into the standard air box? Yes i pulled mine off as couldn't get the cone in with it still there.

Yeh that, cheers. Is the best way to just a pull it until it comes out, or is there a more delicate way?

I think it's glued in to the acoustic valve. Cut the fabric with a knife and use wire snips to cut it free.

 

[hipwell]

Mine just pulled off the top of the acoustic valve. Needs a bit of muscle but it will come.

Why is the ktec louder? Does it use a bigger cone that we can't source on eBay?

 

[James H]

I just pulled it and it seemed to split in the perfect place, just had to trim down the fabric. Been for a drive and I think it's the best £50 ive ever spent, so happy :smile:

A more dense filter imo.

 

[DickP]

Good evening,

This may have been asked already in the topic, but how does the ramair filter compare to the stock filter in actual filtration? Is there an increased risk of less filtration on the inlet?

Thanks,

 

[loggyboy]

Its very dense, cant see anything large enough to do any damage getting through tbh.

 

[mitch1503]

Just a heads up that for the filter you can buy this direct from Ramair website ATM with discount code SRXMAS for £27.99

 

[loggyboy]

Universal one is only £20 though...

[imprezaworks]

[mitch1503]

Yep you get them parts with it Imprezaworks.. saves buying 1 connector plus gives you a bracket to bolt it in the same position as K-tec's
