I've been looking at cone filters and have found 2 suitable ones from K&N, courtesy of the Demon Tweeks website:-
1.) Tapered type, neck ID 76mm, 152mm long with taper 117mm - 152mm, recommended 340HP max.
2.) Sraight type, neck ID 76mm, 152mm long, 178mm diameter, recommended 400HP max.
Undecided as to which to get therefore, is there any advantage to the larger, cylindrical filter. It has a larger surface area so should give better flow but it's a whole £16 more expensive! That's at least 5 pints down the local
Also, does mounting the filter directly to the MAF have any adverse effects, assuming that both a decent heat shield and cold air flow are in place. Is it an issue of space or just that people like more silicone hosing under the bonnet... never a bad thing
Or, on a more serious note, is the flow through the MAF too turbulent, as it has not had time to settle after the sudden change in area between the inlet and MAF piping (causing misreading / problems etc), whereas a section of pipe, although curved, would reduce this problem slightly?
