Cheap air filter for induction roar

[Peter C]

I'm not fussed about performance gains, all I want is a little more induction roar.

Would this do the job?

* Adds up to 5 to 8 additional horsepower

Better read that as minus 10hp due to heatsoaking.

How is that different to more expensive cone filters?

do not buy one of them!

i bought a very very similar one from ebay and it killed my engine..and my turbo! the metal plate at the top of the filter sucked its self into my turbo, smashed a couple of blades and caused all round engine failure, maybe just my bad luck but i'm still paying for it to this day! get your self a brand name filter. like an apexi of HKS, check the for sale section, a second hand one will be cheaper and do the job fine.

Check the forsale sections

and also the car breaking section.

Always one or two up for sale.

I have a BMC closed box on mine with a DIY effort to mate to the toms scoop.

Metal pipe also gives an increase in roar.

No noticable gains or decreases in performence
The viper ones are similar but also quite expensive but you do get the whole kit ready to fit.

i was once told:

"buy right buy once, buy cheap pay the price"

i try to live by that rule

K&N, Pipercross, green are also decent brands that are a little less than Apexi/ HKS Blitz etc

I know 3S are making full metal hardpipes which will really help with your induction roar.

I had one of the cheap ebay ones Had no problems with it and sounded great.

Just be careful and make sure you give it a full visual and prod about to make sure there is nothing loose.

Mine cost me two pounds from asdas,

A sieve does sound good
