looks nifty tbh... but the surface area of the 2 filters probably wont be any larder than a normal open cone..
ask what size the filters are.... 76mm to 70mm reducer will be needed aswell.

For the size of the whole unit, it has very lillte surface area that can intake air. Its a bit of a gimmik, cant immagine power gains...but foam filters generally sound good!

could different filters be put on i.e larger jetex ones and then would this make a difference?

doubt it tbh... probably wouldnt fit.
id just stick to a jetex anyways, they are only a tenner more than that for a proven product

 What a Load of $$$$, its just a gimmic or maybe something different for show day, apart from that i wouldn't put it near a car, it looks very very restrictive.

glad you said that first. I was thinking the same
Looks like cheap pap to me. I wonder how effective it is at filtering?

Actualy guys i know some one on ASN running one and he says its quite good, improvement over OEM airbox and also has good filtering, tested it via a dyson to make sure it wasnt passing too much shit into the engine and it wasnt.
Each to their own. |
