Hurricane - quick question

[RichQuy]

Morning

Currently have the Piooly kit but it's starting to look a little tarnished so was thinking of replacing.

I know there are no performance gains to be had, etc. but I'm looking at either the Hurricane or ITG. Now each say specifically designed with the K-series in mind, etc., etc. but looking at pictures of the Hurricane it appears that it doesn't benefit from the cold-air feed pipe from the side air scoop - is this correct?

I have the 100mm ducting from Piooly's kit so wondering whether this could be put on the end of the Hurricane? What kind of filter is inside the H - similar to a K&N cone? Paper or foam?

Or do I just go all out and install the ITG?

Cheers

The Hurricane comes with the cold air feed pipe, which routes directly to the air intake scoop on the passenger side of the car, as does the ITG.

Ditto.

Had the CF Hurricane on my Elise I just sold... does what it says on the tin... coulnd't justify the extra expense of the ITG Maxogen, although the ITG is lovely

Excellent, that's all I needed to know. Cheers

Pictures of the Hurricane on eliseparts are misleading.

Steve at SW Lotus fitted a new Hurricane on my S1 just last week. It does indeed have a cold feed pipe that goes straight from the side intake. It sounds awesome as well and makes the car feel a tad quicker. That might be because my previous air filter had self-detructed though.

Another thumbs up for the hurricane here, dead easy to fit too. I fitted mine in about one hour, and I'm a 1ng idiot.....

Certainly can. Looks the same as mine does (or did before I had side pods fitted) with the Piooly kit. However, none of the pictures on EP show the cold air feed hence the question.

Ihave the itg on my S1, when you fix it on you can just fit the pipe over the side vent, but you have to cut a few of the wire bindings in the ducting,but it does not leave a gap at all so 100% of the air goes in. this is quite fidley, But sounds fab and the carbon looks the pups.
