3" or 76mm IIRC. Try Rally Design. Don't foget to give it a bit more cold air and a really decent heat shield!

I just cut the front off the original air box. Much cheaper, original cold air feed, sounds better than a cone filter IMHO (a bit like a Golf GTi, especially off boost), should flow over 350bhp (people are using the RS2 box for 400bhp+). It also quietens the really annoying noise made by the DV when cruising with boost levels around atmosphere. Have got a cone filter for when I do a track day and can remove the headlight but modified airbox for daily driving for me

. Car's running 250bhp+ on a standard map with minimal mods. Other option is an RS2 'box, if you're made of money or find one cheap.

Oops. Bit late!

sorry dan my guess was wrong 88mm

As mine and James' figures disagreed, I went and measured my cone filter that attaches directly to the MAF. Measures 76mm. This is on an 1994 ABY, not that I think that matters.

Hi Dan, I Used 80mm internal dimension Pipe, that then fitted very snug over the MAT and didn't need any silicone hose to join the two.

hows it held on the maf

I have an official Dahlback one of these that could be for sale at the right money... Complete with heat shield and cone filter. Has some mileage on it from previous owner but its in good condition.

Cost me a lot - never fitted it myself as I have decided that the RS2 airbox is the right answer for me sometime in the future... Just prefer the stock appearance and it performs well enough without any of the heatsoak worries of the Dahlback affair.

Just by compression against the MAF tube I'm guessing..
