Sarnie Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Val has this i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Removed Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 I have, and love it. IMO the best CAI design, compared to aem, nismo, injen. BUT with this new cosworth intake+plenum..... don't know that setup looks the business! (can you say I'm tempted?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Removed Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 got it from an ebay buyer in edinburgh and Derek helped me shipping it over at minimal cost! £220 + £10 shipping, was the best price I could find it at, and I phoned ALL K&N stockists in the NW ! easy to fit, I'd say yeah, only tricky bit was the MAF sensor you need special bits (called security bits) to take it off. Also, the fact that you can add the suction cone or not gives you a choice. I just put it on for the summer, but think I'm gonna keep it as the design makes it basically impossible for water ingress. If the price is right for the Cosworth setup (plenum + intake) I might sell mine! It's blue though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mathys Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 I have the polished version with the new black rubber trim near the plenum (not the stupid blue one). I got it via ebay, autocom_performance, total price including shipment 295.72 $. He did some magic on the custom forms, 7 Pound custom tax . It looks brilliant underneath the hood and does make a terrific sound above 3k rpm! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Removed Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 my rubber is black, but my tube is blue, I specifically wanted it blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie_350z Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 So if I was to buy one of these K&N CAI, then for the mechanically inept like me its then a question of how to stick the bugger on. I would let someone more adept than me have a go, but I'm wondering about Val's comment about "requiring security bits" for the "MAF".... could you elaborate, Val...?

mugwump Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 Probably has a screw with a non-standard head, so you need a bit set like this or similar to get the thing off -> http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=11520&criteria=security%20bits&doy=5m11 Val, (or is it Minny now? acording to the first post) Whats the story with the cossie plenum? Do you have a link to one? More info etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sl114 Posted November 6, 2006 Author Share Posted November 6, 2006 The only question i have, is does it affect response due to heat soak? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captint Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Can't be any worse the the standards system's inability to suck air Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sl114 Posted November 6, 2006 Author Share Posted November 6, 2006 Can't be any worse the the standards system's inability to suck airThats what im thinking as it has heat shield and the inlet at the front.I have also been thinking of cutting a hole away for direct air to enter the filter, but not too sure yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Removed Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 it's not a heatshield, it's a proper casing for the filter. the tube is metal as opposed to plastic, hence there'll be a little more heat soak, but I've never really felt any difference the bit is the one at the bottom of the link... mind you my screws haven't got the centre part anymore...
