Joerrado 0 Posted March 19, 2014 It's just a quick one really. I'm in the process of putting my vr6 back in and am looking at air filters/induction kits/intakes. The BMC CDA is looking like a possible winner, I'm just struggling to find a supplier. Can someone tell me the best place to get one please? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
g0ldf1ng3r 13 Posted March 19, 2014 Ive recently had one put on mine whilst it was at Stealth - you could try giving Vince a call & asking where he gets them PS my god it makes the VR sound awesome!!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
loepan 11 Posted March 19, 2014 does it really? as oppose to the standard box or vs say a k&n cone? would be interested in one myself Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Bowen 1 Posted March 19, 2014 Just taken mine off and put the standard airbox on with a K&N panel filter and its like a different car, so quiet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 1 Posted March 19, 2014 I don't think the BMC is any louder than the K&N - but I think because of the design of it, you're less likely to be sucking in warm air from the engine bay and are therefore likely to get slightly better power figures.

Joerrado 0 Posted March 19, 2014 Mine did have a K&N cone on it when I took it out but it's looking quite old and battered. Putting a lower mileage engine back in and just looking for the best replacement. Been reading about the warm air affecting the cone filter... Other option seems to be the Pipercross Viper Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted March 19, 2014 Give Stealth a call - they supply an extra bit that's required to fit to the VR Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joerrado 0 Posted March 19, 2014 Thanks, I'll speak to Stealth. Now to look at all the other bits I need/want. Prepare for a barrage of stupid questions. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lewvw 10 Posted March 19, 2014 If you take the snorkel out of the standard airbox you have yourself an OEM CDA. It sounds awesome and won't affect your insurance. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Bowen 1 Posted March 19, 2014 Not looking to sell on the BMC are you Jim? I'm not sure yet. Having lots of thoughts about what to do with the car. Does feel slower now I've taken it off. But also got some engine issues. Which is why I took it off. Just to eliminate it and the maf. Will probably keep it for now in case I feel like being noisy.

Jim Bowen 1 Posted March 19, 2014 Some guy on the corsa forum took his airbox off and fitted one of his sports socks in its place. It got sucked into the throttle body. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hipal 10 Posted March 19, 2014 Just got my bmc from stealth about a week ago. Can't fault it, sounds fantastic. Only down side they have gone up in price £220 posted but does come with the extra hose needed from Vince @ stealth. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IIRC does removing said snorkel not have a detrimental effect on the way the air flow is designed to move through the standard air box? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roger Chatfield 0 Posted March 20, 2014 They are always popping up on ebay, that's where I got mine from.
