Mine has- but it is in a different airbox which could be why it sounds like it does.

[pritchard182]

[jonnie54321]

still though,

you reckon its decent

 

[LiquidCarbon]

yeah give you maybe 3-4 BHP if you have good air feeds! its 10 times better than your standard filter anyway!

also with good airfeeds you will hear the induction suck when you plant your foot and hit about 3.5k

need better air feeds! take the old hose out and run a feed down to the front grill or fog light hole!

Cheers!

jonnie54321 - There's your answer bud!

 

[Olliec]

Like this!

You can either take out a foglight and run a big one from there to whatever you decide to have or re-route behind the underlight bumper grille near where the standard ones go.

 

[realnumber 1]

You can just pull the pipe off the right hand side of the air box if you want a nice sound and I haven't noticed any decrease in performance what so ever with that method.

I've been told the standard filter will be the best for intake.. why do people always rave on about the panel filters then?

 

[franx]

when saying standard filter they were probably talking about the box, not the filter itself

 

[whatisjustis]

If you want noise then get a Carbon Simota Aeroform. It's an open filter but I've found no loss of power with the 70mm CAF I have running to it

 

[TooneySonic]

to be honest i've been reliably informed that theres little difference between the ITG and KTEC filters, save yourself £30

To get full benefit you need a CAF and wider (samco etc) hose

 

[speedy1878]

if you replaced the oringinal panel filter for an itg panel filter would you need to declare this to your insurance company? if not would you need to declare if you gave it an improved caf? just something ive been wondering today

you should but its in the box so it will still just look standard!

 

[wildwood]

From reading around the forum on this subject it seems people rave about the itg panel filter in standard airbox, with acoustic valve removed and decent cold air feeds fitted. £60 is expensive for a panel filter though, i'm sure there can't be a lot of difference between all the aftermarket panel filters aparts from what they look like and the material used....

What shop sells suitable diameter cold air feeds (preferably not online)? Also looking for a cheap silicone intake elbow without the ridges - perhaps this would smooth the airflow a bit.. although the samco and hillpower bends are also expensive for what they are.

 

[Peperami]

Open cone filter attatched directly to throttle body is a good bet too.

Ummm!? Why and how?
