    Best air filter

    Is it worth fitting an induction kit to an s2, if so which is best?
    Was just planning on getting an uprated panel filter but thought I would ask first.

    Cone filters are prone to sucking in heat which the S2 produces a lot of with the turbo right next to the airbox

    RS2 airbox is the way to go, if your feeling flush

        defo got rs2 airbox mate
        there are a few threads on
        the cone filters vs oem airbox
        although the induction rore sounds
        good it ain't really a benefit
        unless you can protect it from
        heat from the em and turbo

          Yes the inlet is much bigger and you still pull cool air from behind the headlight.. There's some pics of the RS2 vs ABY box in my thread, click the link below, some people have had good results hogging out the inlet to the stock box but its not quite the same as the RS2 box has more volume above the filter.

                Where did you get the bmc airbox from? Is it a universal box?
