I think its just to do with the heat that they conduct but I could be wrong. The more expensive ones will sty cooler and there give you lower engine temps and keep the air cooler. I could be totally wrong though!!
If you want to hold off a little there is a carbon plenum with moulded spacer being produced based on the stock plenum and spacer. Its going to cost £250 which is only about £20 more than a spacer alone, then you get to sell your spare plenum. Other than that you are looking at trying to get a 2nd one!!
Sound advice. I personally would go for option 3 as like said above it will last a lot longer and possibly mean less costs in the future. Only you can decide at the end of the day though.
I don't know if this is something that is available or not but I have taken my birdview Sat Nav out and removed the DVD rom behind the drivers seat. I now have a nice whole there and would to put a blanking plate there if someone has one for sale. What is there on cars without the Sat Navs, is it another glove box style cubby or just a blanking plate?
I have not heard of people needing ECU work to have plenum spacers. Sure if the volume and speed of air meant ECU work you wouldn't be able to bolt on a spacer or after market air intake. Thought these were direct application.
Are you also doing carbon Engine Covers? I have 2 of those at the moment as well and can't decide what to do with them. Sprayed one up to see whether I like that.
Can you use the original bolts or do you need to get longer ones? In Dublin till Friday so will PM you for details when back home to make arrangements.
also if you can get a price for a plen with spacer, hopefully the 5/16" so the strut and engine cover still fits. After a spacer at the minute so could hold off.
Hi
This is the best pic I have at the moment. Didn't think to get that close (Doh), But Yeh White on Azure would, But they do a blue version as well.
I have put pictures up of my blues if you are fancying them. Got a cloe up picture as well.
I would be very surprised if it removed the MAF sensor. Fitted an AEM last weekend to Nurrish's car. It's the one that goes down to where the washer bottle is and u remove the original MAF señor housing and fit it to the AEM intake pipe. You can hide it round the back though so you can't see it.
