Ktec/Ramair/Fatty....

[imprezaworks]

Currently got a phase 1 airbox but considering the above again...

I hear rumoured the ktec filter (which makes the noise) is rebranded ramair? Now i've had both set ups and the ktec is louder even with the ktec style ramair filter on the fatty set up. Quick question, why?

 

[JB21]

Bigger cone? My fatty is now louder with the new ramair cone as its about 20% bigger than the last one.

My car has the Fatty set-up. One of the best things I did to the car. Costs naff all and makes it sound proper angry. Great mod in my eyes. Looks better than the Ktec in my view too. Don't really like massively long silicone hoses, think it looks a bit odd.

 

[imprezaworks]

I think i've had all the different sized filters for the ramair. Which one have you got Phil?

I've had them all mate. Chop and change due to boredom etc. No big money and keeps me off the streets.

Think i may ring Ramair and ask them which filter/s i've had.

Whatever you go for get something with a metal intake pipe as that's what makes the fatty sound so good as it resonates, bit like the AEM gear for the CTR.

 

[imprezaworks]

Yep i've had the above filter, also had about 4 over the years lol.

Speaking to Ryan (top guy) and he suggests the metal neck over the rubber, that may make a difference. And another reason why the ktec is louder is due to it being oiled.

He had/or has a clio and the set up he had was running the filter behind the radiator and made a securing bracket. No issues with heat etc.

Ktec ones are metal necked, mines not very oiled though 😅

 

[imprezaworks]

Yep they are mate.

 

[Mr Plums]

The only thing the fatty one is missing is the oil breather take off from the alloy bend, if someone made an alloy bend with the take off for the breather id be more happy.

 

[imprezaworks]

You mean by the throttle body?

 

[Mr Plums]

You mean by the throttle body?

Yea, i know people use their oem black shitty one with the breather take off, but it would be nice to have a full alloy bend off the tb with just a small inch or so hose to connect the tb the the intake, probs get more sound too with the alloy bend right the way up to the tb.

 

[imprezaworks]

Yeah true. Obviously you can buy a 90 degree bend with the breather pipe.

 

[Mr Plums]

Yeah true. Obviously you can buy a 90 degree bend with the breather pipe.

Yea the forge and samco ones, theres also a cheaper one out now at around £50, but an alloy bend all the way to the tb would be a nice option to see what it sounds like with a full alloy intake.

I can't comment on the Ktec induction kit as I've not tried one but I am over the moon with my fatty.

My setup has an alloy pipe and larger of the two Ramair filter options that people recommend. It sounds absolutely fantastic and it's one of the loudest induction roars I've ever heard on a 4 cylinder car without ITB's yet subtle when you're not gunning it.

Mine is the CC-296-70 by the way

 

[imprezaworks]

Yeah the one @JB21 linked.

 

[JP83]

I found mine cheaper from RAMAIR directly.

 

[imprezaworks]

They are. £5 off eBay prices.

I don't believe you Rich
A video of the noise might convince me though hint hint

Legend thanks.Might get @imprezaworks (burks) too finally dust the moths out of his wallet (pink handbag)
Cheers

 

[imprezaworks]

Here's a quick vid I did this morning. The mount was useless so apologies for the camera position.

I will look at recording it from outside too as I imagine it will sound louder than in the interior.

Not sure why the Ktec is louder, but it definitely is. Pipe looks to have less sharp angles in the bends from what I can see, and a lightly bigger bore all the way through.

I was going to go Fatty, but managed to pick my Ktec up second hand 6 months old on eBay for £50, bargain!

 

[imprezaworks]

Ktec is definatly louder

 

[RIC172]

Here is another short clip of the fatty (sound only as I mounted the go pro in the engine bay this time!)

 

[imprezaworks]

Nice

I would imagine the single piece of reinforced silicon has something to do with it, which is also what makes up the majority of the cost of the kit, as said about the filter is just a Ramair branded piece, although I don’t think you can buy the exact spec from them as ive tried before. The setup that was labelled "fatty" was used long before he posted a thread about creating it, but I would much rather use the Ktec kit, purely because of the bespoke silicon.

 

[imprezaworks]

Yeah the times I’ve mentioned the Ktec relationship no one has said ‘yeah it’s this filter’. Must be some kind of copyright ish going on.

Budget wise the fatty is decent.

 

[leeds2592]

I've got a fatty to go on mine

 

[imprezaworks]

Good personality though?

 

[Mr Plums]

Youll love it mate, its a great sound, sounds like t-rex with glandular fever.

I hope your hose is long enough

 

[Mr Plums]

I hope the fatty doesnt put it in limp mode.
