Bought a Scoob today and i noticed it is slightly modified, STI back box and a cone filter, its putting out 238bhp which was verified at Well Lane Turbo Centre and i have on a graph.
The thing is i have heard all sorts of scare stories with regards to cone filters.
Should i ditch it or keep it??

Thanks chaps!

 

Depends on model year mate

What you got

Ditch it and get an uprated panel filter. 99/00 models are prone to MAF sensor failures when Induction Kits are used. Did the previous owner give you the old air box??

 

No i've bought it from a dealer - will i be able tp pick one of thee up cheap(ish)

 

Should be able to get an air box on ebay, or on here in the for sale section for not a lot of money. A decent panel filter such as Green, K&N etc, will set up back £40.

 

Cheers fella

 

Just my 2p worth. I fitted a K&N pannel filter and apart from making a nice noise its not worth having, it also made the MAF play up. Standard is the way to go.
