Back to the old airbox...well not quite

Hi Guys

I bought the UAS intake pipe and Unifilter setup which has been working well fr some time.

However following some reading and not having a sealed unit I have decided to go back to stock...But then I found I can use the UAS intake pipe...and the stock airbox...which was good.

So I proceeded to look at the intake from the bar...which has been extensive looked at before...it is crap I agree.

So in the weekend I will get a Hi-Flow K&N panel filter for the box and take off the front bar and re-route a new intake pipe..

Gone is the noise...but now I have good pressure and not much chance of sucking in heat...yay..

Has anyone else used a different panel filter other than stock or K&N?

*** edit.

Looks like the Apexi Power Intake Panel Filter is the go..on order already :P

I have to say that with the stock airbox I noticed a difference in acceleration...maybe not better, just seemed smoother.

Heah Chris, I've noticed a drop in acceleration also with my coffee cup mod but the car is much quieter and most noticably is the smooth gear change and doesn't rev out which it occasionally did without the baffle.so I guess a couple of kilowatts lost is small potatoes compared with the gain of a quiet smooth ride. and it 's only a hex bolt to remove to be a hoon again. I had the old baffle secured by a wing nut which made it quick and easy to remove. TOO QUICK AND EASY
