hello all, i am soon getting an intake and was wondering what everyone is using. i know a lot of people use the pd160 intake but lots of people use cones/inclosed and was wondering if anyone had any pictures to share was thinking of paying the money and getting a forge twintake kit but would like to see what everyones running and how they perform. Thanks Sam

Here's mine, RamAir cone filter with alloy pipe and flexible intake pipe from eBay

That's the sort of think i was thinking,makes such a difference to the engine bay! Looks neat

that looks great, do you get any noise off the turbo through it like on a petrol? thanks.

yeh get a lot of sucking noise through the cone and a little chatter when you let off the smoke pedal

Where's the maf?

Where's the maf?

it comes off the cone, can't really see it in the picture it's got the white sticker on

What you got holding the flex intake pipe on mate? Is it the standard PD130 one?

No its a JP190 intake

have you got any pics of yours joe? my friend said he saw your car at trax and had a realy nice cone

That's my k&n and I ran my pipercross like this too

Any point in a open filter on a diesel....??? Other then the sound..?

I thought these make F all difference to performance on a turbo diesel?

K&N open cone + bigger intake (idea stolen from joe )

Never noticed a power gain on any car really but I always fit them for the noise on petrols but I had them laying about so put then on the furby. Back to stock now with a pd160 but thinking of going cone filter again. Will see how it sounds with my new exhaust tomorrow first though

They do look nice and I also like the sound.  I'm guilty of installing them on all the petrol cars I have owned.

What exhaust you getting Kyle?

I don't mean I fit them to a 1.2 corsa I always buy the sports models like a st or gsi etc so they all have as a minimum induction kit and exhaust and then lowered

Never been to trax might of been forge action at castle combe.

What exhaust you getting Kyle?

Going mufflerectomy with a single 3" rolled out tip. Been humming and arring about it for a few weeks but it's getting done tomorrow! Just hope it looks good and I like the sound

Nice Kyle! I like the rolled out tips! Used to have twin rolled out on mine but the tar and all the crap etc getting stuck under the lip would drive me insane!

I think I will get a mufflerectomy made up after winter so I can hear my hybrid! A little worried about it being too loud when defrosting etc for now :(

Its a bit of a bodge though as under the top join is just a thick seal tape from work with the red silicone cut open and wrapped around to make it look pretty . It will have a 45 ally pipe soon but after i have my maf deleted.
