The 6 went into to garahe a wile back and wen i drove it home the induction kit fell off n i ran it over. (DOH) so i quickly drove to halfrauds n gpt a £30 inclosed jobby. Havnt thought anything of it since then but do you think this will be restricting the air flow rather than helping it? It might just be me i feel like its not quite as shark as it was since i got it. Its got a ss exhaust with decat. Going to put it on a rr soon as its nearly 15 yrs old to see how shes holding power but theres no point if its got a sh*tty induction.
Do you think i should chanhe it or not bother?

Get a proper induction kit or an OE airbox with a k&n panel, then get rid of the decat = win Big grin

Yes, definitely. I got the "carbon encolsed" Halfords cheap one and even the box says it's rated up to 200bhp Erm?

Looked like this when the enclosure broke off:



And then compare that to the proper filter I have on now:



On the rolling road at SoS it made 165bhp with the Halfords filter and 140lbft. With a K&N borrowed off someone else there it made 175bhp and 148lbft. It feels even quicker now with the new setup.

Will do for a cheap filter but it's severely hampering performance, my AFR was far too rich at top end as it was starving the engine of air.

This is a good replacement for the money, or stick a K&N/Green cotton filter in the standard airbox
