It won't give you any more power than a modified standard airbox.
Spend the money elsewhere.
total waste of money. you can make one out of the stock airbox.
they piss on anything by a mile for build quality

Proof?

But £400 odd quid for an ornament under the bonnet, is there ant proof they are much better than any other IK?
Proof?
A car with the same mods as mine plus a Maxogen made slighlty less power on Surrey Rolling Road rollers than my car with a modified std airbox.
But more importantly can anyone actually prove that the £400 Maxogen gives any real power increase over any other type of intake?
Just for reference, how is the Maxogen configured ie. filter shape, layout etc? Is it similar to that of a phase 1 172?
Does anyone know the surface area of the filter?
i'm yet to see one on a race car gaz!
And is it cylindrical? Is it noticeably bigger than a phase 1 172 filter?Just for reference, how is the Maxogen configured ie. filter shape, layout etc? Is it similar to that of a phase 1 172?

filters huge. Much bigger than say a viper etc.
sorry gaz, but for the money, BMC CDA rules
Can someone measure the surface area of a Maxogen for me?
Here are the measurements for both phase 1 and phase 2/182:
Phase 1: 866.25 square cm
Phase 2: 312.375 square cm

one thing i would say about surface area is its all relative tbh. Too small is a bad thing (viper is tiny made my car laaaag) Too big..... well the engine can only suck through the intake pipe, so you could have a filter with a surface area the of the bonnet for instance, but that wont gain you anything extra other than trapping more dirt

Before and after. On the SAME ENGINE.
If you knowanything about these car's you'll be aware that no two make the same power. So you proof is pretty ropey to say the least.
Although I'm sure you ghetto airbox is far better. just because you can't afford one, there's no need to be bitter.
And I'm fed up of saying that I wouldn't pay £400 for one either! I paid £300 which isn't really any more expensive than Viper/BMC etc.
