New Vs old Air Filter

Post by Paulm » Wed Jul 12, 2006 7:29 pm

Did a couple logs using my old dirty OEM air filter and then a couple with a newly cleaned Piper X filter ( NOT OILED )

They were exactlly the same. Just goes to show the audi filter does not restrict flow at all even when old and dirty.

F10 M5 LCI still no rear grip lol

S3 8V FL DSG 310ps, road noise is a joke
RS3 8P Rubbish
C7 RS6 Fantastic car but missed playing
GTR R35 800bhp, too extreme, crazy fast though

F10 M5, awesome but no rear grip

Cheers Paul,
yeh, ive yet to do mine, but will do some fats and logs with ITG and also with a hole in the airbox (there are some on AW but id like to do my own logs) would be good to see if the sportec hole makes much difference :)
May even ditch the airbox and go itg + pipe with heatsheild, but thats another day :)

Yeh, ive got the jc 60/80 itg which is a few cm bigger each way than the smaller one that the s-flo and other people have used i think? so i might be quite tight inside the roof of the airbox and dont want to strangle it, so i might have to ditch anyway no matter what, but ill mod my airbox then do some before/after runs and then look at how i can fit the cone filter.
