Wayne2015 10 Posted February 14, 2015 Sorry Not very good picture U can just about make out the cone filter on the bottom left of my 1994 VR6 Questions for my car: 1. Better to retain the cone filter of go back to box filter? - pros n cons? If retain cone filter: 2. Should i add a heat shield? 3. If so how best? 4. Should i add a coldfeed? 5. If so how best? Thanks all Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanl82 23 Posted February 14, 2015 I have an airbox you can have for nothing mate, but the bottom part has had half on one side cut out to give it the induction roar. - again, previous owner being a cowboy. I'm not a fan of cone filters for the reason you are seeing, they really need to be boxed in and cold air fed due to heat soak. BMC CDA is the only filter proven to give both gains and noise, and pop up on ebay from time to time for £70 - £110. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sankysvr6 0 Posted February 14, 2015 What a top and helpful bloke, Sean that is . Wayne I would take up Sean's offer of the standard drilled box, use it with the standard filter until you can source a BMC one or a non drilled one. Not keen on the open cone filter myself as well, to much oil on it an it can damage the MAF. To little and you get inadequate filter, which can result crap going Into the engine.
