That's fine as long as you have a filter that doesn't require oil.
Running a K&N without oil for example, you may as well not bother with a filter at all. It's the oil that catches the dirt and stops it from entering the engine.
If you want more noise then removing boxes is what you want, not adding them.
Take out anything other than the back box, will be noisier then. Get a bit of a flat spot at 2.5k revs though.
Is it going to Mick to be fixed? Have the garage you bought it from been made aware of the problem? You need to give them opportunity to fix it otherwise you'll have to pay.
Every one will be different I would imagine. As @NorthloopCup say's, he strips and replaces what's needed. That will depend on the gearbox being supplied.
Just the flexi's is usually fine as long as the manifold is checked for cracks. I can't see them wanting to stump up for a manifold, aren't they about £1k?
Not too long at all then really, and well worth the effort! Can you recommend anything for alcantara? I need something to keep my steering wheel clean etc.
Not for the first box it's not. At least I'm not paying it. £35 a month for q silver (the 2tb box) a mini box and all channels inc sports and movies (With HD)
Why would you not be able to undo them at the side of the road?
I'm fairly sure you'll be over tightening them if you are just using a wheel wrench, hence making it harder to undo next time. Torque them up to the proper amount (about 120nm?) and they will a) be safe and 2) come undone fairly...
Fair enough, I always had to be the same with my ex!
Like I say, with the engine out and on a stand it should be simple enough. There is a guide on here somewhere that gives the procedure and torque settings. I'm sure someone will come along and link it.
Powder coat is only baked at about 200 degrees isn't it? Hardly going to do any damage to the wheels at that temperature.
Imagine how hot they must get if you're on track etc? They're bolted straight to the discs that get to the point of glowing red hot - some of that heat must transfer to the...
