induction kit or panel filter?

[Gix]

I put a K&N induction kit on my VR6, Filter, connecter and cool air ram tube. 

Made a bloody awsome induction roar, lowered the fuel consumption lots and knocked 5mph of the top end.

I've put the standard air box back on and run a quality replacement,  It was made that way for a reason!

 I just fitted a cold air induction tube direct from the front of the car behind the grill under the bumper

  To be honest with you, Unless youve fitted a cam or fiddled with you're injection your engine aint gonna out suck the standard but cold air fed air box.

experience tells me the same thing. keep your airbox ,put a decent panel filter in it and feed it more cold air.

Just goes to show, NEVER JUDGE A FILTER BY ITS PRETTY BOX!

Look at Race team, wot are they using   Panel filters.

Superbikes, moto gp, F1, they all use panel filters, must be the way foward.

Sucky sucky

I've got a K+N panel filter on my 8v Gti.

How do I fit an additional "cold feed" and where do I conect it too. I can attatch it too the mesh grill under the bumber ok but where does the other end connect too???

Sorry if this is obvious, but i an not mechanically minded!

Mk3 ? if so you need 70mm tube. this will replace the old air feed but when you see how small it is you'll be suprised your car worked at all. take your airbox out. once out take all that 45 degree elbow bit out of the bottom. it's a bit of a fiddle but it will come out. once it's out you'll be left with a 70 ish mm hole. on the top side of the hole on the outide of the box there's a little rectanglular bit that'll need filing off. At the same time bevel the edge of the whole round opening to make the 70 mm airfeed tube easier to get on and hey presto!

i think the only time they use more petrol is because you keep flooring it just to hear that noise!

the dilled box and panal filter gives you an aggressive roar noise!!

my old 84 k jet....sounded like a V8.....that was an insaine noise!! and it had a standard exhaust!!
