From k&n to airbox

[Scott-16v!]

Finally after a year of the k&n i've opted for a standard airbox. Swapped with NaplesValver off of here.

don't be too scared by the extra p000000000000000wa!

[Scott-16v!]

^lol

:D Less sound but a noticeable difference on how responsive it is, has a bit more pull around 2k now whereas with the k&n it seamt all noise and no go until you hit nearer 4k, i'd recommend doing it if anybody is thinking of it. Probably miss the roar but i prefer how it drives now, i'm sure a bit of is is psychological but it's still an improvement 8)

A vid on the way.

[Scott-16v!]

Dodgy video of it :wink:

[Coops]

you've been trying to polish ur engine parts mate!! :wink:

looks good tho n airbox is better!! you sorted a cold air feed?! :twisted:

[Scott-16v!]

just used the standard feed mate, was all still there. I've had two attempts at polishing it now and it's still too dull :x doesn't really help trying to do it on the car is suppose :lol:

Oh yeah, how did you get all your black rubber pipes so clean? Or are they new? tried wiping mine and stuff but they still go dull :-k

[Coops]

up close mate they aint that tidy! all i do is everytime i clean the bay, which is weekly, they get a go over with a wipe that my missus dad gets from his work. they are like ethanol soaked or summit i think but they are quality for bay cleaning! 8)

[Andy P]

Get some heatwrap on that box too mate. I redone mine and it looks ok. Probably doesnt do a great deal but every little help :wink:
Need to sort a cold feed for mine but it looks shit without the fogs :?

Well i the old stuff was shitty and coming off, so i took it off anyway to reveal a doggy airbox. So i wrapped it up again :lol:

Shes producing good power, so if isnt broke why fix it?

[NaplesValver]

thats alot cleaner than i remember it mate, glad u like it though, im havin second thoughts about changing the airbox for a k&n now, ive got an itg in mine too :twisted:

ill put it on for the noise for a little while but when i need to go out and have some pure thrills illput the box back on.

[Scott-16v!]

[Coops]

[Gav]

[Daz.]

I like the standard box - you can hear the engine screaming away and THATS a nice sound 8)
