Air induction???? which one????

[PinkJay]

OK................I'm gonna sound like a complete pleb now but...................I want a new induction kit for my 135 TF.

I had a K&N 57i on my old F 'Cassie' but looking at getting sommut a bit different for 'Glimmer'

I've been looking at the K&N Apollo but wondered if anyone on here has one and.......well.........are there any alternatives and.........more to the point......how much??????

Suggestions please on a postcard......or a better alternative.....ON HERE!!!!

Cheers, Jay

The Vader/Taipan give the best flow vs filtration with the BMC CDA and ITG Maxogen coming a close second.

Apparently the Elise boys and girls rate the Hurricane although I have not tested it.

Stay away from Piper-X since it is rubbish.

K & N would be way down the list too - old technology but cheap.

Just to 'put a spanner in the works' - I've fitted a K & N Apollo fully enclosed cold air ducted filter. Fits in neat & tidy, but you have top make up a bracket for it. The open end of duct fits nicely in the LHS engine bay inlet duct in the side of the car - this gives plenty of good clean cold (outside) air. This filter allows plenty of air into the engine so increasing power together with a S/S Sports exhaust system. The only problem I guess is that it's a 'bummer' to take out and a 'million' nuts to undo to clean it! Cheers.

Tested a load of these induction kits at Dave Walker's rolling road in Norfolk. Cutting a long story short, they're all pretty much of a muchness. So long as they're insulated from the engine bay heat, they'll work a treat. So get the one that suits your sense of aesthetics and pocket best.

Other then extra induction noise there is little evidence that you find any gains with a stock engine over the TF's OEM induction system.
