Cold Air Intakes

[Blitzen]

sorry~ what cone? i'm not to sure what u on about

The intake cone. This attaches to the rear side of the grill and to the opening of the intake pipe... It comes as one of the two pieces of the PD160 trunk kit as the stock trumpet is too small to attach to the PD160 trunk.

so if i get PD160, do i need to also get the cone? or normally that cone comes with PD160?

Yes to both questions.

On the left you can see the stock intake with the stock intake trumpet attached, one on the left is the PD160 intake with the trumpet attached. It is a two piece kit, and as a whole, it takes about 15min to attach, and the only tool you need is the double ended screw driver that comes as part of the tool kit in the boot of your car.

Some people have the BMC air filter but Eddy mentioned this in another thread, this is what I also bought: JabbaSport Fabia vRS "Cone In Box" Filter Replacement

It's just an air pod filter bolted on to a metal plate so it fits in your standard air box. You could probably find an air filter with the right dimensions and do the fabrication yourself.

As Blitzen mention, the PD160 does come in two pieces, the air pipe and the trumpet which takes about 15 minutes to install if that.

Yep, it sure will. I've got this in my car atm.

feel any different compare to stock intake (paper filter)

The change isn't night and day, but I can feel the car just breaths better and feels slightly smoother. When I pulled the stock filter out I was suprised as how compacted it was. Obviously this is a good thing in order to get clean air into the engine but I think a little bit restrictive. I might not get a lot of performance but I know it's doing good for the engine.

i've just recieved a pd160 intake which i bought from partsworld-uk.
including shipping, it came to 94 pounds. took less than 2 weeks to arrive.
cant wait for tomorrow morning so i can put it on and go for spin.

Install it, takes no more than 20 minutes regardless of skill!

It makes quite a difference. Car breathes better to redline.

Damn boy can't Walt man!! Atm working for my air filter wahaha then go get Apr free trial lol

i installed the pd160 and cleaned out my k&n filter. and there is a nice difference in airflow to the motor now, is certainly feels like it breaths better and has a crisp rev in the higher range. Keep in mind that i still have a stock ECU and exhaust.
one more thing, i was looking at the piece that the pd160 clicks in to (the one that screws into the car) - and i thought it too looked a bit restrictive, so i cut out the plastic bit and now the opening has more area/cm2 than the pd160 intake trumpet. without cutting that plastic flap, it would have been about 1/2 the area.

next on the list is a downpipe (using the factory cat and exhaust)....improve the breathing in the motor, should also improve the breathing out

[Blitzen]

You won't feel much difference if you are using the stock cat.... That is where most of the restriction is.

[blackbetty]

ah yeah thats a really good point. i might hold off then and save the pennies for a full exhaust.
