Okies, I know alot of ppls are against these but anyways...
What is with some cheap cone filters and their standard tone?
I have had two different cheap ones on my GTi 138 and neither of them have made any difference, noise wise to the standard airbox and Halfrauds panel filter.

Just put this on my car today, its only temporary and doesn't seem to be picking up any heat soak which is a bonus.

 


I'm just curious as to why some don't make any extra noise and some do.

Being the picky sort - I really hate it when people say this. Yes we all know what it looks like - but we all want to see the condition that yours is in!

Pointless wasting money on cheap crap.

Save up & buy decent first time Wink

Buy cheap = buy twice.

Depends what you class as the 'best'

A paper filter has the best air filtration
