Hello all
I've heard that at least one CERB has cone filters placed/cut into the normal black air pipes as a replacement for the standard filter at the front. Effectively, the area where the normal filter sits is empty and the box acts as just an air box to allow in the colder air. The cones then suck air in at a greater rate and pass it on to the standard air boxex and into the hoses/trumpets. Has anyone got this set up on their CERB or does anyone have any info on power increase decrease etc.
Cheers

They certainly did on the dyno didn't they ? .. i'm not sure if that would be entirely replicated on the road as the cold air from the car moving is more than my fan can ever replicate .. and the cones will never cost as much hp as a dirty std filter so they have their place .. I had a cerbera in recently which had a very dirty std air filter in place and removing it gained 12hp!!

And I am too old for all the noise !! In fact I would fit a standard filter if I could work out how to!
It's not that hard Gazza, just unclip the top of the front airbox and pull it out of the way (you can only go so far as there is a sensor attached to the passengers side of the box), then just lay the filter in position where exposed(might have to pull and stretch it a bit as it's been cleaned so may have shrunk a little), then just push the top section of the airbox back in place on top of the filter and secure via the clips.

ps Can't believe your Cerb hasn't sold yet.

True Joolz,
But for optimum performance I'd opt for the std set up over cones, especially once you've fitted a low clog, hi-flow performance filter
. Jules.
I've been thinking about fitting cone filters to my 4.2 for a while now, apart from the obvious noise benefit has anyone fitted them to a 4.2?
Also how much extra turbulence if any is created inside the engine bay when removing the filter housing? does the extra flow cause the bonnet to jump about any more than normal?

the std filter is good for 400hp .. if you keep it clean! .. trouble is it clogs quickly and hp then drops off .. but if you dont mind taking it out every 2 months or so it'll supply enough air for all but the very highest hp cars. On a 4.2 there's little point going to another type of filter (other than if you keep the car long enough you'll get the value benefit of course) as the 4.2 makes 360/370 at best so not really troubling the std filter as much as the hairier 4.5s at 420hp plus. make sure it's clean though!
