induction question

[Desey]

thinking of buying one of these

then chucking the filter straight in the bin and buying an apexi filter or something quality

 

anyone have any experience of this????

 

did this on my old fiesta, seemed legit

You get what you pay for .....

[OllyB]

How much is an apexi filter, surely if you put the costs together you'd be able to get a higher quality item?

Desey I wouldn't bother honestly.

Have a look on the Tarmac Sportz website as I'm sure for the price of that ebay item + a decent filter & delivery you could easily find a better low cost kit on there site.

Hmm, that's got cheap Chinese tat written all over it.

 

I wouldn't put one on my car, definitely recommend saving a bit more and getting something a bit better

[Mopedmark]

Go Tarmac

[Tarmac@TarmacSportz]

Go Tarmac

 

Hey Marky, how's the car coming along buddy

Your do get what you pay for and it is probably a good thing to support the traders on the site who do a really good job with price, supply and communication etc. but if you are on a budget then all you really need is: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/160416907623?ssPageName=STRK:MESINDXX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1436.l2648 and http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Aluminium-Alloy-HeatShield-Heat-Shield-Air-Filter-Protect-Protection-Universal-/190885992029?pt=UK_DIY_Materials_Plumbing_MJ&var=&hash=item2c71b1165d they work as well as any and unless you are going for big power upgrades then with a decent remap you wont notice the difference.

I got the exact same one. DO NOT fit the pipe. I noticed the inside had metal filings. I fitted the filter on its own to replace my pop charger and lasted 10 minutes before going rusty.

 

I now have an aem short ram. Can't fault it and is a premium quality kit. If you don't like noise, just go for a panel filter.

[Desey]

Yeah was kinda a shot in the dark tbh

 

looking at a k+n typhoon or aem, heard they rock

 

got a full exhaust system, new headers and all the way back, and it is LOUD

 

My old kn was loud on my fiesa, how are they on Z's?

[evilscorp]

Mine came with something like this. I cut it up and used the oem airbox with it. Might have it laying around somewhere.

[StevoD]

looks like stuff from Crapspeed

[Tricky-Ricky]

As there is nothing to be gained from fitting a tube induction kit, for the money they are fine, the filter is not all that but will do the job for six months or so, and then easily replaced, they will unclutter the engine bay and sound good, the long type will actually locate in a position that will give just as much cold air as the std box.

I fitted one to my 350GT as I was damed if I would pay four or five times as much to achieve exactly the same result, after all its just an alloy tube with a cone filter no matter how much you pay.

this is what i was thinking

 

still might go kn though

[R35LEE]

The thickness of the tube on the cheap kits it like half of that of a tin can But if all your after is noise then go for it but I would prefer a better made kit with a filter that is going to do its job

[Easty]

I got the shorter one from them and can't really fault it for the money. . . .

It's cheap and cheerful but makes a nice induction noise. . . If that's what your going for. .

 

[Desey]

anyone got one????

[Vlad]

[Desey]

yeah was gonna buy one right now but, seeing as it wont be shipped till monday, would wait until then to make my mind up

[HARMLU]

Do you get a heat shield with the injen? Not sure if it makes much difference anyway

[Desey]

also thinking of getting a BMC CDA

 

so many filters, such little time

[Desey]

bought a popcharger from tarmac
