Cone Filter or Panel Filter

[andymarshall106]

Got a green cotton panel filter fitted at the moment. was thinking of changing to a cone filter but mostley for sound..

Any suggestions to whats best? heard some rumours of cones loosing power?

Cones don't really lose power tbh but they sound mint! My engine sounds a bit louder now when you plant your foot down plus i get a nice whistle/sucking sound when at 6800 rpm

 

[andymarshall106]

what kind you got mate?

 

[phey708]

I got mine from AP Turbo i think its just an open cone filter bolted straight to the TB.

ok mate cheers

Definitely have a look at the JR Jetex ones andy, they're dry so won't ruin your MAF sensor. Bill at badger5 on here is the best guy to speak to about getting the right one

Just remember to mention you're going stage 2 as the bigger the cone the better

+1 I run this filter and its good, meant to be one of the best.

I was thinking more noise wise on the TDI pal as opposed to performance, is it worth it for that cone filters get mixed reviews, I wouldn't swap for an aftermarket panel filter as the OEM one is just as good, just have visions that the TDI would sound deadly with a good quality cone filter

Nah just more like a tractor lol, better with a straight through exhaust and standard filter.

 

[TALBOTL]

That i shall do, thanks for the help

I was just trying to find a cracking pic that was on the tdiclub recently, some guy had a really cheapy cone filter and it ended up jammed in his turbo lol, it was funny

 

[Chriswaite130]

To be honest I think it sounds pretty good for a tdi with a cone and turbo back exhaust, can really hear the turbo. As for performance, depends on what power you're searching for but the big turbo guys run cones - don't believe the hype about the 160 intake being amazing as apparently when going for big power its very restrictive.

If you're after a Jetex filter you want a jetex fr-08001 which has the right size neck for the pd130
