    Hi, could anyone recommend a decent induction kit for our S60R, I've looked on Ebay, and K&N's site, but can't seem to find anything.

    They might be ok if you are prepared to spend plenty of money getting the car to run properly due to the electronics on these cars..
    They wont increase any power just noise,check the internet for problems.

    Problem with Elevate is the prices.Utterly,utterly ridiculous.
    I`ve never bought anything from them and never will.It would be cheaper to buy stuff from Lamborghini.

    I`m sure it does.I had a k and n 57i on a 2.5 V6 Mondeo years ago and to this day I`ve never heard a more gorgeous induction roar.
    I`m not sure what Elevate charge for one but I bet you could get a banging and popping SS exhaust for less.

    Like everything in life, you get what you pay for!

    I've had a BSR induction kit and i sold it three weeks later as i thought it looked cheap, thou it was 183 euros. The AMS system looks like it should of been oe. Its well worth the money.

    filter won't make any difference, but it will sound epic.

    I would advise against running an open induction kit on any car really unless you have the relevant heat shield and cold air feed to go with it. The Elevate AMS meets this criteria but it's a bit overkill for your average S60R as it costs a fortune.

    I run a K&N replacement cone inside my standard airbox and it seems fine. Here's the ebay link:

    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/K-N-AIR-FI...item334fa45f17

    Ignore the 2005-2006 part, it's listed for all P2 models 2.5 between 03 and 07 elsewhere.

    If you want to hear a bit more induction throat, then remove the lid from the standard airbox. It'll make it a little louder with lid removed and this K&N in place, although maximum cold air feed will be achieved by leaving the lid in place.

    What are you trying to achieve? Power? Noise?

    Have you ever noticed on a warm summers day, your car doesn't perform as well as it does on a winter evening? This is due to intake temps and ideally you need them as cool as poss. When my cars running and I open the bonnet it reminds me of being on the beach in Kardamena... these engines get very hot, I would go for the K&N inside your standard box
    Sorry, nothing Swedish here...
