vr6madmike 0 Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 Just give it a shove there are two round locating lumps to get it past, does sound better, get a K&N pannel filter too! Link to post Share on other sites
nivag27 5 Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 Ypu need to remove both cones,external and internal first one just snaps off and the second one is more tricky if you wedge a screw driver down the side it should leaver out. I have got a bmc panel filter in mine and it does sound much better. Link to post Share on other sites
kalv 0 Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 Push a screwdriver through and wedge it out.. if that fails.. attack it with a pair of pliers... I removed my front trumpet that goes into the wing.. sounds great now with my pipercross panel filter Link to post Share on other sites
gloster 0 Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 All the advice above sounds good to me but you do have to give it a bit of ummphh. I also used some washing up liquid as lubricant to make it easier [seem to remember something about oil based products damaging the maf?? i may be wrong??] Ref the noise... it just lets the engine breath easier and a bit more rarr noise wise, i too have the k&n panel filter which is all good so far for me.

exurq 0 Posted June 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 cheers for the replies..>Ypu need to remove both cones,external and internal first one just snaps off and the second one is more trickyNow im confused Gav!which one are you calling external? The one that almost touches the panel filter on the throttle body side is obviously the internal cone.... Link to post Share on other sites
exurq 0 Posted June 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 p.s.- Gav your car is the spit of mine, 'cept still on the boingy springs! i want to lower mine, but not cartoon like low..yours sits just about spot on, what kit have you used?ta Link to post Share on other sites
nivag27 5 Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 the external cone is the one which bends round to the wing, the internal one is a straight cone which narrows to one end this is the one inside the box. The kit on my vr is GMAX shocks and springs. Good all round kit really, sits nice drives nice handles ok and it only cost £220 delivered. Link to post Share on other sites
exurq 0 Posted June 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 cheers Gav..not sure about removing the trumpet that goes to the inner wing.. you'd be gettin into heat soak issues i reck then.anyway, what millimetre 'drop' do those GMAX springs give 'cos its 'a strong look!' as Westwood would say!!aaaight!peace Link to post Share on other sites
stusnook 0 Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 I've removed the external one and not had any heat-soak issues so far. Link to post Share on other sites
nivag27 5 Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 You could run a cold air feed pipe from the hole in the box down to the ground, I have theres just enough room to run a 2" or 3" (not sure which) pipe, and have some holes aswell for that extra bit of roar . It said 40mm drop on the kit. Link to post Share on other sites
kalv 0 Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 You wouldn't suffer from heat soak as the filter is still inthe original housing and protected from the engine heat... Link to post Share on other sites
RIX 0 Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 i have fitted a modded corrado box and there is even more sound,and flow wise much better,the cone is easyere too get out in the corrado box. Link to post Share on other sites
