The best option for performance is the standard box with an K&N panel filter. The XR3i and RST filter fit eachother.

yup they work, better than cones :D

yes i heard that the element, drilled airbox conbination works better than 57i's etc.... on rs's. Soy have you still got your car? i read in performance ford that you were breaking it :( :cry: ....fucking sweet car matey :top:

sufsRS 23-12-2004 12:43 PM

maybee when you sit in traffic and get massive heat soak then the standard air box is better but when your out on the open road flying along I have seen better ACT temps from the cone filter !

Well said Dave

Cone filters are a total waste of money, i have a standard very dirty ford panel filter in a airbox identical to Daves(vroooomptssssh) and im getting 205.1 @ the wheels.

You trying to tell me i would get more power putting on an exposed filter that sits about 2 feet from a roasting hot turbo

:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

take ya hed light out and go along at 50mph+ an that heat wont get near ya "crap" cone filter!

only time heat from turbo will get to it is standing still! unless suddenly heat rises to the left????? :? :? :?

220TC 24-12-2004 07:50 AM

:cry: we could all argue about this all day long but at the end of the day its personel preference ! I have personally seen better ACT temps from using my cone filter so I think I'll stick with that !
