You mean like this. Sounds like PRM. Fits like PRM. Is part PRM and cost about the same as what Ron is suggesting.

Or go and spend £300 on some plastic pipe and a metal elbow with a cheap gauze filter and a brand name if it makes you feel better

That looks amazing actually. Whats the noise level like?

unclefester

It's as loud as the PRM under full load and combined with an Invidia Q300 exhaust - it makes me smile every time i drive it. I always found the K&N to be a little gruff and lacked the PRM scream at higher RPM. I did have an AEM V1 but sold it on as I didn't care for the idea of an intake so low to the ground.

Far as i'm concerned, if you're just fitting an exhaust / intake and doing nothing else - it's solely for how you want it to sound and different ears like different things.

PedroHicken

Sold.

Thanks.

Unclefester, is there a guide somewhere on the forum showing how to fit that? and is the car more susceptible to the rain with the filter exposed? cheers

unclefester

You really don't need a guide.

It's a PRM intake elbow, 2 silcon reducers and a 300mm piece of alloy induction pipework with a filter on the end. All i did was buy the filter with the appropriate neck size for the larger diameter pipe i used in place of the dead bit of PRM that used to sit there.

Because i have bonnet lifters, i was able to remove the standard bonnet rest and the filter nestles nicely under that up against the hole in the inner wing.

I haven't noticed any difference in wet weather.

That does look pretty cool like.

On another note I emailed K&N - the amazon one is legit!

PedroHicken

Gah, I have the bonnet rest and the bits to do this mod are already on order. I will need to improvise it seems.
