Oh, one side will be closed right?

Might be having a moment :doh

Shame i don't even drink

Do I need to specify size from the link you provided?

 

[R1cho]

its a cone filter you fasten it to the intake pipe and get rid of ya airbox, it comes with different sized bits to fit the pipe you need

If your looking for something that goes inside the original filter housing then this would be your best bet

Cheers dude thats what I was looking for. Does it really make a difference?

Someone was on about greater throttle response. Just curious now as to whether they had the seperate cone mod or just a plug n play filter. :nenau

But yes that's the one im after, I guess they are all about 30 quid plus...

Take care choosing one, there are two sizes, the earlier ones, and the later ones...

However the site above shows one size fits all:doh

Not true in my opinion, so do check before you buy.:thumb2

The cone one takes warm air from the engine compartment.
The plug and play, still takes cooler air from the inner wing, and also provides some but only little protection from water ingress due the the water separator in the plastic intake, and the one way drain valve in the filter housing.

Cooler air is denser, so contains more oxygen, so better performance.

Ahh nice one rustic, I was worried i was getting the 2nd best option but yeah as you've mentioned this will be more of a forced cold air intake :thumb2

Has anyone got experience of a k and n filter and the difference? Throttle response ect.

I've had a K&N on mine for about 18 months, did seem to rev more freely and have a little bit more grunt, but my main reason for fitting was the fact that it's washable. Because the car lives in Spain paper filters get blocked more frequently because of all the dust, so now once or twice a year I take it off, wash it, re-oil it and stick it back in. Seemples!

I've got the insert type one as I had a problem with over fuel after my re map and had to get more air into it which sorted my problem but what I don't like about it is I can hear air sucking when under load and it really gets on my tits.

 

[AlexD333]

Thanks x2 for the further info. Ok I'm gonna take the plunge and order one then, I will specify a 2004 and hopefully it will arrive right

 

[AlexD333]

E9251 seems to be the one that keeps popping up, but this stops in 2002..

Any suggestions guys?

After that it comes up with the 3.0 filter :doh

Right Alex your prob thinking of me:augie have ran K&N's on both of my T2's & yes throttle responce both time has improved loads & I have gained a couple of mpg's. Both times i've fitted the in air box type which are better if you go off road as an induction kit is at risk of sucking up water:augie The 2.7 & 3L both use the same air box but as you've seen on ebay they only list the 2.7 to 2002/3 for some strange reason:doh
