Which filter ?? Can't decide...
 
I'm re-doing my induction, currently using a green stuff universal filter and some sh1tty alloy tubing.
Just ordered some nice smooth pipe with beaded ends but can't decide which filter to go with.
KandN, green stuff, blitz, cosworth etc etc.

What do you reckon chaps ?

The piping was a bit 'DIY' and needed an upgrade. The new stuff I've bought Is far better.
The filter, well it's ok but want to stick a new one on and maybe go slightly larger. Did think about an RCM kit but refuse to pay £200 for what in theory is a £40 KnN filter and fancy trumpet.

Agreed about the RCM,but sometimes you can find them for good money here

Or you can make your own and best suited your needs

But got the filter from opie oils. Was actually cheaper to buy from them rather than KandN direct.

Wanted to keep the filter as far away from the engine as poss.

MattyB1983 21 July 2012 05:34 PM

Fitted today

Was an absolute ball ache. Had to move the ABS unit forward to fit as the new filter is that much bigger.

99greenwagon 21 July 2012 05:44 PM

Did you do it yourself buddy, I found changing the up-pipe was a bit of a pain on mine.
