Does anyone know how these are fitted with the standard airbox still under the bonnet? Really liking the thought of one just not too sure the work involved in fitting it. If anyone could give me some idea how do this it would be appreciated :) thanks

Nope, they replace the air box :smiley:
As for fitting, dead easy.

What about existing the sensors ect that are connected into it mate?

Well they fit on the end of the Maf, then you route the pipe down to the front bumper area.

WTF! £139!?!?! :shocked: Don't bother, especially on an 8v.

Valid point, complete waste of time fitting one on a 8v :smiley:

Spot on mate :laugh: .. was thinking of getting something made up so it sucks through the grill ? What you think ? Is this a simple job to do? (fitting it)

Only noise mate, you might as well get a cone for about £20

May as well just drill your airbox for free. It will give the same induction sound and wont cost a thing. Done it all my 8v's now simply for the sound and any induction kit on an 8v is only for the sound as it will make no diferance at all to performance.

I bought one for my 8v when i had one, lovely sound! Did f**k all performance wise. You can't really do anything to 8v, worst car i have ever owned :grin:

When I fixed my phone il take pictures of my modified airbox and that has made a noticeable difference. Only at speed though as it's a forced air induction. It's added 15mph down a 1.1 mile straight where I live. Put my drill box on and then lost 20mph.
So from a standard airbox I loss 5mph with a drill box but with my modified airbox I gain 15mph over the standard airbox.
I doubt I would see a gain on a dyno as the car is stationary and not forcing air in at 100mph.
-
Really? I want to see this and I may try it on mine. I have actually noticed mine seems to have flat spots with the drilled airbox. I just did it for sound really as I have a standered exhaust at the mo.
But very keen to see your airbox mod mate.

Would like to see this airbox mate, post the pictures in this topic :tongue:
-
That's a very fair point about the dyno

I'll borrow the wife's phone and I've reached my 200 pic limit on flickr. So il try and delete some.
Il take pics on weekend as I want to do my exhaust and update my project thread.
