what air filter would i benifit fit from to get good gains and tone? i got a std airbox with std panel air filter thanks

Not sure what 1 is best just down to personal preference. I recomend giving this a try same sound and gains but fraction of the cost.

Yeah smooth airbox and put in a pipercross panel filter sounds really nice!

A;sp remove sound proofing under bonnet. Airbox and dv will sound even better

Jetex cone filter! Much more turbo spool and dv noise, and at around £40 you can't go wrong

i did have a cone air filter in my airbox attached to the plastic trumpit inside it was stainless mesh but i think its dammaged my airflow sensor so ive jus ordered 1 from ebay going of topic a bit it was £25 but any way yea ive been looking at a pipecross panel filter an a k&n but which 1 is better?

 

[gezmeister]

I'd go for pipercross if it was me

 

[seatcupra2001]

yeah i was lookin on demon tweeks and comparing pipecross an k&n if think there pretty much the same apart from the price k&n was about £12 more but could'nt justify why coz they same they do the same is there a cheaper place to get a pipecross?

I've just had a K&N filter put in the standard airbox today. cost £58. ouch. you can get them for £40 online though.

are K&N supposed to be ok?

Just out of curiosity, i'm selling a Twister green cotton induction kit/filter which I have removed. How much do you guys reckon is a reasonable asking price for it?

Cheers

i thought the k&N were full of oil

I've put the pipercross filter in and that alone has given slightly better noise & performance.

When I get my ars into gear I'll be smoothin it and adding one, maybe two cold air feeds.

Did something similar on my 1.4 mk3 ibiza, and if it gives better noise & gains on a little pea size engine like that, then it's definitley going to make a difference on anything bigger, especially if there's a turbo there too!

im using a jetex cone filter with a neuspeed heat shield and a 3inch cold feed. works and sounds a treat. from the start i put a cone filter on my car, then i desided to go back with the air box. i smoothed it out and ran a pipercross panel filter, i also fitted a 3inch cold feed, all in all it was ok but i much prefured the sound of the cone filter.

Ive got the jetex cone filter after i read good words on here about it, nice sound, and dv noise, also looks good in the bay felt a bit more responsive too

surely cone filter will get oily but panel filter will be ok no?

i have one, but its not with the jetex cone filter fitted, in the pic i still have the neuspeed filter fitted, i will pm you some new ones soon if you like?
