Just bought a Dbilas Intake

Filter needs cleaning.. it is reusable after all. Will have it cleaned before selling it.

Kev

[K1]

Eh not checked yet cos its pissing it down here. Doubt there will be... never removed or dropped, unless had stones kicked up whilst moving... i can't see it being scratched at all.

Is it not possible to modify the existing cover? but then you would have probs come resale time.

....There are a few aftermarket engine covers available. EVOMS offer a nice aluminium one and Neuspeed and others do carbonfibre ones.

Just fitted my new intake:



Car has a slightly louder induction noise. Sounds 'gruffer' abit less civilised, but perfectly acceptable. Can feel increased throttle response, mid range to high range pull is definitely stronger. Downsides is i can feel more pedal vibration from 3,000rpm onwards from the brake pedal. Don't know if this is because of the removal of the factory airbox which may provide some vibration damping.
Have yet to receive my heat shield for the rear of the engine compartment to revent excessive heat from the manifold. At the moment, the MAF pipe can get quite hot.

Who is supplying the heatshield, if you don't mind me asking?

[K1]

Engine cover is £79... i'll most likely buy one later. Both engine cover and heat shield is supplied by EVOMS from Regal.
