i had a Dahlback kit with K&N cone filter, same kind of noises came from mine. got fed up with it in the end, RS2 airbox for me now, much, much better IMHO.

Hi,

did you buy this filter as a kit or is that all your own handywork? Fancy a quikshift myself!

[porkkis]

Where can I find that kind of hose? Needed for a different application, but would be just great!

Hey good stuff!! I've got a K&N cone filter. You wanna hear it good 'n' proper, lift the bonnet and (when the engine is warm of course) give a stab on the throttle to take it about 6k+ rpm... some guy wanted t hear my engine once at the pub, he jumped back about 6 feet and made a comment about nearly getting sucking in

[terrybullwon]

Made it my self, if enough people want the hose i might be able to get some more.

Ruby red owners think alike!

I wouldn't mind getting one of those alloy pipes to connect my filter like eric and s2_bo's.

I was thinking of using 90mm (or closest) 90 degree long radius stainless steel welded pipe bends 1.5 - 2.0mm thick. Cut to length mark the angle and weld them together. Need to source the bends.

Filter is ordered and in the post!!! Cone D Quikshift with trumpet (needs modifying, the trumpet outlet size is only 75mm I want 88mm same as MAF.

From memory, the Dtype cone is the largest (200mm ?), so I'm guessing you're gonna have to have it rear facing , cause with any pipework your gonna have space issues trying to point it forwards to the nearside h/light. I think all previous versions of the quikshift have been type C (please correct me if I'm mistaken , ) but the type D is good for up to 500hp+

also with reference to the maf and (the trumpet outlet/reducer) connection are you sure the MAF is 88mm ?

i have the largest cone and its front facing, its fine. i am pretty sure its the D to.

That's right. The cone D is rated to over 500hp at 200mm x 175mm it's HUGE!!! I didn't realise how big it actually was.

I had a measure up with various objects trying to picture the size. I got some strange looks whilst standing measuring and gazing at a plantpot in B&Q.
Ahem!

I've got it temporarily fitted with a peice of ribbed hose off a dehumidifier at work!!
Sounds Great!!!
It's possible to have it front facing but it's tucked right up close to the inner wing. It looks tight but i'm going to try to find a way. I'll post a pic once it's sorted.

I'm sure when I measured the maf it was 88mm diameter outlet.
