Induction kit minefield

[Wheelspinwardrobe]

Hi Everyone

All of you have been very helpful so far with my questions, but I am stuck on the subject of induction kits.

I have been searching for no less than 2 hours and found quite a few posts. I have read that some of you like cone filters and some prefer the original airbox. Hot air bad,good, no difference on a turbo engine etc.

MINEFIELD would be my favorite word for this topic. Please advise me.

I would like more roar from the front end just to aid the lovelly sounding back end, if so which is best in the cone filter department?

I HAVE READ ABOUT:

*Elevate AMS system
*BSR Opti Flow Filter kit
*Short Ram Intake

*Pipercross and of course K&N

But which one????

Thanks Phill

Can't do wrong with the BSR Optiflow mate. I've been using that kit for nearly 4 years, with ZERO ill effects, so if you like the noise, that's the kiddie!!

The BSR kit seems the most popular and well priced too with the heatshield surround etc :)

the group a ones i.e the RS500 one has a 76 mm neck and the the standard cossie has a 70mm neck

i noticed a big difference changing from a K&N to a Pipercross cone, rev'd alot freer

i use a CCR cone now because its got the open end for a more direct air flow into the filter

I take it the 850 T5 needs the 76mm neck then?

you could just buy a cone with 70mm neck but whatever size you choose you will need a silicone hose to connect the two together
