Cossie ones are generally bigger - although I'd say any cone filter that's not restrictive and yet actually filters would be the one to go for, you don't want nasty bits of grit going into the turbo now ;)

I think Andy suggested the Cossie ones because of the rather nice looking RamAir ones that are available :D

Cheers,

Andy

air filters

Postby mackers on Sat Nov 27, 2004 7:35 pm

i`ve heard HKS are brilliant but would a fully enclosed filter like pipercross viper not be better? no hot air from engine would be sucked up then! :)

Yeah - I'd say you would have to relocate the battery which is a pain in the backside.

The best place to locate the air-filter is between the battery and headlamp (only possible really if you have a front mount intercooler) and then you can run a load more cold air ducting up to it - shouldn't suffer so much from heatsoak there as it would tucked up next to the engine and turbo.

HTH,

Andy

I've heard that Apexi filters are better than HKS as in filtering and less retrictive.

HTH :)
