breaths better, make a fair bit of induction noise like i have the standard exhaust and ive been told a couple times i like the sound of your exhaust but its not its the induction.

would be better if the filter was sealed off from the engine bay.

im hoping to get an exhaust later this year but that will proabbaly be it as coil overs void heaps of the warrenty and so does remapping the engine

so oh well

I would take that POD off. As you already go to UKfiesta you should knwo that a POD filter just doesn't work in these cars in the position you have it. The heat builds up too much.

Other than that it's looks great.

ive read all the arguments and personly i dont notice much difference between air box and this,

the k&n location is bad where it sits over the exhaust but here its not to bad

gets cold air from the grill
and cold air from down the bottom bumper

also adds alot of sound and gives it a louder note so im happy.

you would be lucky to get 1-2bhp from an air filter

yes you might get it if you combine it with extractors chip and exhaust you will get maybe 5-10 hp but not a whole lto so it makes no difference for me

makes no diff in power

revs are more flowing (slightly quicker)

plus gives you something to do to your car

paid $80 for air filter
$8 for oil breather
$30 for the cold air intake and the small bit of silicone piping

so not that much
