Gruppe m Ram filter set up

[Rick_RS4]

Did you read the thread I did Rick about the heat management for the GruppeM? http://forum.rs246.com/viewtopic.php?f= ... eat+shield

ah thats great i did see it but didnt see you did the maf or the intake hose, great idea, i have some of that tape in silver that plumbers use to lag pipework, i have some of this on the side of the airbox but not on show, it might look like a roll of tin foil has exploded under my engine bay

I had the Gruppe M fitted today and I'm impressed.

Pros:
Sounds amazing under load (not that noticeable if not).
Looks amazing (shame the carbon fibre weave is not the same as the RS4's engine cover).
Slightly better throttle response.
Slight increase in power and torque.

Cons:
High cost.
Need re-map to take advantage of the better air flow.
Lose power if the engine is worked hard (heat problem as already mentioned), not so much of a problem for road use.

if you want a bit of extra intake noise (not as good as the gruppe m ) just unclip the snorkel from the airbox and then you have a nice open hole right into the airbox , you may lose a few bhp on a warm day + underbonnet heatsoak but it does sound alot meatier and when you finished "having fun scaring the saxos,corsas etc , clip it back in
not jealous at all of the gruppe m

I dont think i'll hear much once the tubi and decat milltek pipes go on in a week or 2

Its the look of it i love

looks great, doesnt match the other under bonnet carbon tho if i had one id fabricate a end cap for it woth a 4" cold feed, its like running an open cone filter which you might as well do.

I've just noticed that my car is on MRC's Facebook (28th November 2011)

That was before the Gruppe M and there are a few other mods in the pipeline.
