V6 airbox????

[Clgale88]

I'm thinking of getting a v6 airbo iv had a price for the box from Renault but they don't know nothing about the strap which is used to secure it. Does this come with the box or is this separate as they don't have a clue what comes with the airbox or how it's fixed to the car. Help would be appreciated cheers.

box comes on it's own with filter and the strap is a seperate part number. Do a search (soooo many threads on this) and you'll find the part number. Think bomber posted them. Depending on you battery setup, you might not need the strap as it's going to be pretty tight in there anyway.

No strap needed ... Mine just sits there ..

You don't need the strap really, it does just sit quite nicely in the bay.

[TheEvilGiraffe]

[Jonny1*2]

It does make a lovely sound :approve:

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

LOL.

Get a job ya eejit. Surely they're worth ~£50 2nd hand, at most, posted !?

Does this set up sound noticeably different to removing the CAF on the standard airbox?

 

[ScarySquirrel]

The V6 airbox looks very similar to the JMS IK I have in my 182, what is the difference?

PS. NOISE!!!!

 

[treemanx]

No difference, its the same box. JMS kit just comes with the pipercross filter/breather filter/induction bend.

 

[ScarySquirrel]

Oh right, cool

In that case, they sound awesome, get one.

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Yes. Very. It's down to the size of the hole on the box, which is singlular and massive

Oh right, cool

In that case, they sound awesome, get one.

Have you just got the JMS inducation Squirrel or went the whole hog with the inlets and map as well?

[Clgale88]

Wests Renault said £61 for it. Tempted get one they looks better in there aswell Then the standard box

 

[daddycool]

if it's all down to the noise, can you not do a max power job and cut the hole bigger on the original box? or is it because the surface area of the filter inside the v6 airbox is greater than the flat filter in the standard box?
