Induction bargain for S2??

[Nightmare]

hmm...K&N 72 cone filter replacement for the standard S2 airbox. Took all of 20 minutes to fit (and je suis mechanical retard)....there are less parts and weight to the new bit, it makes a fantastic noise with the throttle open, and cost a heady 63 quid! And according to that independant site which I cant remember the URL for, it was the best of the ones they tried.

Im trying to find the catch?!

Im thinking about the mechanics of a car going forward rapidly...and the likelihood of hot air actually coming in through the cone rather than the cold (denser) piped air from outside...I know which seems more likely....

Anyway...It's certainly freed the engine up a little...as Bonce says, who gives a toss whether you get an extra 3 or 4bhp when it soudns like THAT!

I reckon just adding another few tubes from the side air-intake would guarantee no warm air getting in....

p.s. abz....could now get a Tubistyle exhaust system, and STILL have paid the same as you'll pay HR OWen.

I think almost all the official upgrades are a con. You can get 160 bhp, from the standard engine, for around a grand.... QED engineering are someeno who do this IIRC
