Cheers. Still very pricey. But if it sounds good, I may consider upgrading from the K&N, as the design is obviosuly better.
Biggest annoyance is that the bumper has to come off for installation. I know that's not technically all that difficult, but I'd hate to end up with the clips weakening and the bumper sagging - was pretty common withthe firs gen I think.

Yes, I would have preferred it to be compatible with the oem snorkel then you can decide if you want to take the bumper off or not

This is what puts me off too.

Pretty pleased that this comes under 1k, it sits nicely in the middle of the market, bridging the gap between the low end cone in a box type filters and the high end carbon fibre RAM style intakes. I will be placing an order if my insurance accepts intake mods.

Given it's made of carbon fibre and the size and shape of that snorkel I bet it sounds nuts.

Which one would you go for gloss carbon or matte carbon?

I'm interested too. I wonder if we'll get a special zoo rate

Received my K&N induction kit today.

Given it's dollars I'm assuming it's from the US, so at that price there'll be fees to pay too which won't make it far off £1k. Was the dyno run done on a UK car?

Not sure why it's in dollars, there website says they are UK based.

It's a UK company so I'd imagine we should be able to get hold of them without having to get it from the US, would be a bit backwards @Infinity will these be available through a UK stockist? I noticed Swift Performance sell your products.

Saw this video but it seemed a bit useless and the top comment summed it up. Like most of thier videos they don't really show the parts in detail, they breeze through the install so fast you can't learn much from it and then there's no objective analysis, nor even much attempt at showing us how it sounds...and really that's the most important part, as pretty much no intakes are going to do anything apart from improve noise (without a tune at least).

For what it's worth, these guys have just dont another video. Again, there's not really much of interest, no install or sound clips, but they are at least now showing the final product.

There’s a part of me now tempted to just get a silicone hose, maf pipe, universal air filter and see how it goes, although this could be becasue I've just seen samcos fire red camo pipework

 

[KobayashiMaru86]

I keep an eye on the HKS pipe as it retains the lower bladder but at £291 plus postage and fees it's a lot.

That's the one

Call me a cynic....but isn't that purely for bling? I can't really see that it offers any peformance gain, and I thought any noise improvements came from the airbox design rather than the intake pipe.

They show graphs showing lower pressure loss, but surely a good quality silicone hose would do the same thing?

I agree but so far it's the only one that retains the bladder. If someone wants to make a silicone one that retains the bladder I'd buy it, which is why I'm not getting this.

Ahh, I see.

Fitted my K&N induction kit today.

I wrapped the complete box with heat shield that is used to shield motor bike exhausts. Hopefully up to the job.

The kit definitely makes a difference to the engine sound and more noise at lower revs than I was expecting after other comments on the forum. Only had a very short drive so far though.
