Hi there

[Foreveryoungaus16v]

I have not noticed any diff between cone and normal filter

[whileoceanasleeps]

you running a heatshield? if not the cone is just sucking in the hot air from the engine, not v efficient

[Foreveryoungaus16v]

yeah, no real diff between the 2

[whileoceanasleeps]

hmmm try a k+n panel filter?

[Foreveryoungaus16v]

Had k&n pannel filter and now run k&n cone filter with heat sheild. No real diff.  Ur not gonna get big increase performance with out engine mods etc....

[whileoceanasleeps]

the only way you'll ever get a big increase is by doing loads of little mods or getting a bigger engine i think

[Foreveryoungaus16v]

Yeah thats true buddy

Heatshields are not very effective!

THE best option has been proved to be an airbox with panel filter AND cold air feed.
