Ian

Insured through Lifesure (broker) = AON classic sportscars = Royal and Sun Alliance .

Still, they have been excellent with the recent 'coming together' and I get a great deal.

I have just emailed you the PDF (ah the joys of corporate technology )..if you'd be so kind as to fire a copy to Mr T ?

Its brief..to the point...and kept my insurers happy

Thanks

Spoon Duct. Not sure about gains, but feels more powerful/better throttle response. Sounds really loud and is as close to a Honda part as you will get probably bar Mugen which is

Had the Spoon air filter with the Spoon replica duct - better throttle response and smoother drive with no kangaroo effect.

Got the Mugen now - better throughtout the rev range but Elephant wanted me to pay

PRM, noise is excellent and adds 2-3BHP at the wheels.

Normally no additional insurance cost.

Is this - bhp increase proven ? I always thought you lost a little power with the PRM??????

I have to say, I'm more inclined towards Jamie's understanding of the effect of the PRM. I've not scientific tested basis for saying so, but I find it difficult to believe that an intake that swallows gulps of hot air from the engine bay can offer any power increase. I've found a much greater propensity to bog down in hot weather than I had with the AusS2000 intake extension too.

I've said it before and I'll say it again - buy the PRM for the noise it makes and you won't be disappointed. Buy it in the expectation of power increases and I suspect you will.

I suspect you could have fun with that PRM power increase claim in the US. All you'd need would be some dyno time, a lawyer, and oh, a lawsuit. Then again, you might struggle as you'd have to convince a jury of ordinary people.

Bellmouths pull most of their air in from the sides, not in front of them. Just pointing the front of the bellmouth near a possible source of cold air, doesn't do very much. But the intuition of most people would say the opposite.

In the end, all that would happen is some lawyers would get richer....
