xyber 1 Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 Fitting one tomorrow (if it stops raining!! :@ ) but am worried about sucking up rain etc. Cold air feed was gonna be in the usual bumper vent position but keep thinking that driving head on into rain could have a very bad ending!!! :-d Any one got any experience of this happening?Cheers in advance Link to post Share on other sites
jaysVR6 2 Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 Oh come on fella. The system wouldn't be around if it ruined your engine!The air filter for my charger is where the carbon cannister used to sit! As long as I don't drive through a 6ft deep puddle then I'm sure it'll be fine! Link to post Share on other sites
matth76 1 Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 The standard filter has an air feed that is exposed directly to the front of the car (albeit a small air feed) and that was designed that way. The BMC is not a lot different but more efficient. If the factory had a similar design set up they can't be wrong.I wouldn't worry mate. It will not suck in cold water at all.

xyber 1 Posted October 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 Spoke to Stealth and they said its a waste of time putting the cold feed on, they never bother, so its on without it, it sounds insane, just went thru a busy tunnel in town and made some women jump! hahaha Link to post Share on other sites
matth76 1 Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 I agree mate...I have a BMC and havent fitted the cold air feed. Stealth rolling roaded cars with and without the cold air feed... no power difference at all (the rolling road sessions all had cold air blown from the front of the car - as a normal rolling road session should - with the bonnets closed). Agree with you...the sound is awesome when you floor it above 3k revs! Link to post Share on other sites
franchise 1 Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 I'll third that, under a tunnel, 2nd gear, awwwwwwwwwesome sound, like a really angry german dog.Also, i don't think the sucking power is really gonna be string enough to actively suck enough water up the pipe, through the filter, up the other pipe and into the engine.Leave the pipe, keep the noise and enjoy!!

VR6_Absy 0 Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 Personally I prefer mine with the cold feed, I found the drone annoying on long journeys.Mine still sounds awesome but doesn't bark as loud Link to post Share on other sites
xyber 1 Posted October 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 Hahahaha yep, 2nd gear, 3000rpm, tunnel....smiling all the way to the petrol station to fill up again!! Im enjoying the sound to much!!! Defo my favourite mod so far! Link to post Share on other sites
Ciaran 4 Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 to suck up enough water to matter the end of the cold air feed would need to be completly under water don't worry mate Link to post Share on other sites
