Why do people choose (airbox)

[rich-6]

to use the Espace V6 airbox rarther than the MK1 172 one as they both look very similar to me.

Is it because the Espace one is used in the race cars?

yep they use it for race cars, I use to have one & I sold it on here.

they are rare, it got one big hole & the 172 got two small hole.

yup main difference is the one big hole compared to 2 smaller ones,thing is i always thought 2 smaller ones would do just a good job (just like comparing 8v to 16v lol one big valver compared to 2 smaller ones)

so what sort of difference do they make?

my thoughts exactly, Over a 182 AB too and would it be worth trying the 172 one?

Espace V6 airbox is bigger airbox to give improve more air.

ph1 172 airbox is better the 182

Might have to visit some scrapyards then :approve: was it 91-99 espaces the airbox was fitted to?
