Any recommendations on a Open Air Filter

Do you need to get the 45 degree bend to use the jetex one like phils done?

My filter is just a halfords jobbie with sum pipework cut to fit. Sounds real good and not had any issues with it so far not even heat soak Wouldent bother with any expensive ones dont really think they are worth it tbh.

Well i only get a spooling sound between 2-3000 RPM and can only really hear it when the windows r shut and there is no road noise. Any ideas why it is not as loud as others?

is your car remapped? if not you will be running alot less boost than these guys

No not yet it is pretty much standard apart from forge TIP, JR filter, spilt r, and a n249 bypass.

That will be why then bud, Get her mapped then you`ll get a nice spool up sound. Ill try and get a sound clip this weekend. It is pretty loud

If you think about it your running around standard which is about 6psi isnt it? Im hitting 23psi its a big differance!


Myki, you dont have to use the elbow its just a good idea as it brings it nice and close to the wing.

Cool il grab one after xmas then find someone with vagcom to log it against my blitz and see which is better

This is the cheapest i found, cheaper than jetex direct. Thats with the chrome end to it aswell.

Theres a slight possibility that i could be visting people in fishponds after xmas, i dont mind logging it for you if im around that way.

Yeah very true never thought about that! Hope to get it mapped soon but was thinking about getting a Blueflame turbo back and a intercooler 1st then i can get it custom mapped! Its so tempting though to spend the money on a remap instead of a exhaust!

 

[__B3NNY__]

if you have bigger plans than just a remap, save up get all the bits then go stg2 or as you said a custom map.

 

[Banksy 1]

Yeah thats wot i will be doing, getting all the bits fitted then get it remappped then should notice a big increase in one big hit! The JR filter has stopped alot of the power loss through heat soak though considering i did have a closed induction kit on b4?

dynatwist

Hey guys, im new to all of this. I've got a dynatwist on my cupra 225 and was wondering if I should take the tin off and get a heat shield? would that give me more power?

leon 225? i wouldnt say more power, just a better sound
