Are you saying bring the filter down the front or the hose up to the filter?

It's not exactly a normal shape to attach something, there would be gaps? The end is metal rather than open like some double cones.

Matt...you've driven it yeah....
Does it feel worse than before? If not then why bother with a CAF!

And I do delivery driving in the evening and it seems no worse, if not better, or maybe thats just in my head. Sounds awesome though. Which is kinda what I was going for lol. Also temps have stayed the same which I assume would go up if there was heat soak? If it goes to shit I can always put the box back on and change that filter but it all seems good right now.

Exactly lol.
 It'll be fine, it'll bwarp nicely, you won't notice the ~1bhp you may've lost and mpg should stay about the same.....If you were doing it on a diesel or a higher powered petrol it'd be different, but for a 1.4 theres really no need for CAFs. As said I had 2 1.4s with cones like that and no issues at all.

Hey buddy, I've ordered that hose you posted anyways, just didn't really get where you meant to attach it. Just like.. cable tie to the side of the cone? Does seem all good at the moment, but of course, you all know more than me! Can't even change headlights without help...

Yeah that's exactly what I'm saying. It's for a bit of noise, its not a Ferrari lol. So unless it feels slower (which it wont as its a 1.4) then there's no need to spend time and money making changes that you won't notice. I don't spend money or effort doing something unless I'll see decent gains from it, each to their own obviously though.

Having owned a 1.4 i can sat the best thing i ever did was taking out the back seats (Whilst collecting a wardrobe).
These videos have relevance here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PAIxeQUSg-Q http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCi2yo4UqPI Gotta remember that in an engine bay theres always going to be air as its not a closed container. Though MCM only showed what happens when you attach the physical mods to the car, they didnt factor in a remap to take any possible advantage of the new filter (if there is any). The temperature of the air is going to make little difference on a NA car unless its highly tuned, lets face it, you dont notice much difference driving in summer and winter. If youre just going for the sound then getting rid of the airbox all together with the shortest pipe possible for the oil breather to attach to is best, but bear in mind the possibility of the breather spraying bits of oil into the intake, though i was more interested in my music than my 1.4 engine roaring (until youre in a tunnel, always fun to rev the engine in a tunnel) (unless it blows up) (but it will sound awesome blowing up)

Cheers for these man, kinda blows it all out the water but yeh I like the sound haha. I need to measure up so I can get some tubing so it's not just sitting on the box. Who knew a student wouldn't have any sort of measuring device (ruler) to get even a near about diameter for correct hosing. From the video looks like a silicon bit to metal bit thats attached to the cone. Should have the old metal braces to fix it all together. |
