Gives a s**t what it sounds like? It will most likely give you less performance than a standard box lol. If you want a filter to sound mental but dont care about performance just bolt a s**tty open IK on?
Why would you ever want your car to sound "good" but remove bhp/torque? Sounds chav tastic.
LOL wondered how long it would be for the CS sheep Nazis to wade in to this.
a filter/airbox/IK is NEVER going to give you any noticable gains, certainly not on the F4R. Even if you spend silly money your going to see possibly 2 maybe 3bhp? Try feeling that in the real world.
As for this 'remove bhp' it really bugs me when people who have no experience of a simota just reel off the standard guff about sucking in hot air.
After doing many RS Tuner data log runs, inlet temps are extremely low at anything above 35mph, so when you want to be going quickly its just not an issue. There is a definate rise if your sat in traffic or trickling along at 20 yes, but if your in that situation why do you desperately need 3 or 4 bhp more?
Oh and LOL at the 'chav' comment. That'll make any car that runs a non-standard induction setup chav then? All those cup racers with their 'pikey' open cone filters eh?
********
Anyway regardless, for those actually interested in a Simota, dont let the people who spout off the usual nonsense put you off.
On trailing/half throttle they are nice and quiet for town driving, however when you want to press on they give a lovely soundtrack and add a bit of drama to what in my opinion is an otherwise very dull sounding engine.
On the move the whole 'hot air' issue is virtually null and void
Its one of the best things i've ever done to my car and i wouldnt be without it in a hurry.
