I'm never buyin' a cone filter again - they use hot air from the engine meaning there are no benefits. As far as an engine is concerned it needs cold dense air other wise it'll suffer from crap miles & power loss. Short answer = Pipercross Viper :smiley:

..use cold air feed

what exactly does that mean?

my induction kit on my vr6 only really works with cold air if ive been sat in traffic a long time the engine is really slugish to pull off and sounds like its missing it pops alot on the over run! out the exhaust i put this down to hot air from the engine block being sucked in the air intake. on a cold day when youve air getting sucked in there great and i still wouldnt take it off.

I kind of assumed that, so just a hose down to the front left side, (or a fancy sprinter vent grafted onto the wing, as some do)
