[kully]

maybe be better off ringing them up to ask for the correct fitment , personally i'd go for the cheapest of the 3 as they are all very good companies and you cant go wrong .

 

[Pearce69]

im going to go with pipe cross i like the look of them and they are fairly cheap

2nd thoughts... iv jus popped up my local halfords and im going for a K&N filter since it comes with a garuntee and according to the guy that serverd me at halfords said they were louder and have a slight better preformance.

after 04 the air filter intake/housing was changed. I got a k and n on mine, is quite loud and has a marginal increase in performance(not a lot though) plus it includes the cold air feed in the box, ill upload some pics of mine for you tomorrow.

ok ty very much chris, oh plane the link aint working

 

[Chrisjk]

this is the air filter on the adapter plate that is included in the box

and this is where i have placed the feed

That looks fooking gash mate!!

Should have it like this...

or better still, where ur fog light is...

 

[Chrisjk]

But i cant do that, mines a phase 1, and i want my fogs as they are, its really just for the warmer weather, will be going when it cools down.

(SHould sort those scuffs out though)

 

[Hazza]

Well if thats where u want it, at least get a horn for it!

 

[Chrisjk]

Why? Its there temporarily and a horn would just make it look really nasty there, that was the most subtle place i could put it without doing any real work.
The plan was to get a relocation pipe, bringing the filter behind the grill but the money is better spent elsewhere.

The only trouble with putting it in the upper grille like that is that you have to remove the alternator water shield, so everytime it rains water will get in.

cheers for the pics, my filter should be here this week sumwhen!
