I'm thinking about buying this off ebay:

Does anyone know if it's a straight fit or what it will be like? As i can't seem to find anyone running one. Am I right in thinking it will just need a CAF fitting to it?

 

thanks.

You'll need to mention what car you drive.

 

If it's for a turbo car there will be no real benefit so it's an expensive toy for looks.

Sorry, fabia vrs. I do like the look of it so im happy to pay that, and from what ive heard a normal panel filter would only add 5bhp with a remap tops?

It's already got a cold air feed on it dude that's the pipe on it. You need to know the size of the end it. Our maf is 80mm so you may need a reducer to fit it if that's a less than 80mm which I would think it is. You'll probably see no power gains either as the stock system is meant to be good for over 200bhp apparently

Nope, been tried and tested many times.

Neither of them will add anything really.

I have a few mates running 230 - 250bhp and all still on the standard filter.

Ok well the main reason I want this anyway is for looks and not performance. Does anyone know if it will be a straight fit?

Howww much!

It's under the bonnet, no-one will ever see it, but it's your money you can waste it on whatever you like. Personally I'd buy a RARB for that price, but I like mods that actually improve a car.

Stock Intake isn't that restrictive. As mentioned plenty of folks run well over 200hp with them, myself included.

save ya money and go Amsterdam for a weekend. 

 

on a more serious note Joe is right, jst stay with standard filter. There have been a few horror stories on here about after market filters destroying themselves and fragments making there way further in.

+1 for rarb
