Prawny Baby Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 thats bollocks to be fair.... although its also bollocks that they will actually make your car realisticly any faster.... sure, they CAN add a few bhp, although its VERY minimal, and not an amount most people will notice.... they make Mr. Racer in his 954cc 106 THINK its quicker, because he gets an irritating induction noise-if its louder it must be faster right? its a start by all means, but its hardly a performance mod.... when used on a highly tuned engine tehy are essential.... if i stuck a standard airbox on my mini id probably loose a good 8-10 bhp instantly! i highly doubt they will slow a car down.... as tehy are designed to increase airflow, which can only help! although if the feed pipe diameters are too large, they would cause the air to move slower.... which in theory could give a slightly slower throttle response....

hazzyhaslam Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 (edited) Can depend on the car. The focus suffers from alot of heatsoak which slows the car down a little unless you get a heat shealed(sp?). Couldnt be bothered with all that so put the standard air box back on and rerooted the air intake. But an 'performance' air filter and a full 'performance' exsurst(sp?) will free up the breathing of the car and then you would feel the benifit.

hazzyhaslam Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 Ha ha! I can usally spell ok. I'm no big writer. Haven't drank enough water today. Hey, at least I know that I can't spell instead of thinking that I can! Thats why I did something that I'm good at i life instead of education! Lifes to short. Cheers for the corrections young Sir.
