Which filter is the same then. I've tried a few and the Ktec is louder

Daz 172 · May 25, 2017

Shame you can't buy the ktec filter on its own

imprezaworks · May 25, 2017

I'm looking for a v6 airbox if anyone fancies a swap with a Ktec induction kit and red hose

Jekyll · May 25, 2017

Sorry, I meant ramair make the ktec ones.

Raceface_13 · Jun 7, 2017

Will this ramair filter fit?

Ideally want the one with the neck on as ill be using 2 90degree hoses and want it to look tidy as possible

Thought I would add this just as a dummies guide picture for anyone interested. hope this helps someone :up:

Great pic with descriptions there.

I still dont see the fascination with doing it with silicones - cost more & more joins.

Lol. My painted ally pipe looks more oem too. At least the 2 silicon pipes are cheaper than the k tax kit!

Done mine with Silicone hose (just to go with the coolant hoses)

Tbh all 2.75"/70mm joiners will work and be sturdy enough.

yeecup · Aug 17, 2017

Anyone got up to date links to the original parts required for the fatty kit as the ones on page 1 are no longer available.

Sorry if I've missed it not at home to search properly.

But what are people using to clean there foam filters before re oiling ? I usually use soap and water.

I've already got the re oiling stuff done it a few times now just wondering if anyone has any tips on a cleaner to use - or is it best to get the proper pre cleaner in an can ?

For £25 I'd be all the hassle and buy a new filter. [emoji23]

Sorry for resurrecting this old thread, but have people generally found it possible to fit the Ramair CC-296-70 in between the battery & headlight?

Yep that's what I use. It's snug but fine.

loggyboy · Sep 28, 2017

Ditto
Slide the battery back towards ECU and it just squeezes in.

So much neater with no jubilee clips in centre :up:

RIC172 · Dec 19, 2017

I figured it was about time I tried out a fatty too!

Are these the bits I need? Is the offset fitting needed or just the standard neck?

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RAMAIR-I...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649

and a 70mm 90degree pipe:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Aluminium...var=490176008894&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649

I presume the swaged ends aren't an issue for the Ramair and intake hose to fit over it?

loggyboy · Dec 19, 2017

Swaged should be ok, but certainly no need for them.
I went for a plain end coloured version (not much choice at mo tho!) that needed cutting down, but probably helped get the fit just right.

Cheers, I was thinking the same that the swaged wasn't really needed. You're right there's very little choice on those other aluminium pipes though as there are only purple ones left (far too fast and furious for me) 😧

I think I will go with the silver swaged ended one as per the links in my previous post, along with the CC-296-70 cone filter (non offset) and hope they marry up to one another. From reading some of the above posts it seems others have already bought these exact parts.

RIC172 · Jan 2, 2018

I’ve fitted the fatty and it’s just as good as I hoped. The sound is absolutely fantastic.

I noticed that the alloy pipe, which is 70mm diameter doesn’t sit snugly inside the plastic intake hose though. I.e the jubilee clip needs a fair bit of tightening to grip the alloy pipe. Has anyone else had this issue, and did you use a sleeve on the alloy pipe or just leave the jubilee clip as tight as possible to try and prevent any air leaks?

I don't recall tightening it too much, the alloy pipe was a nice fit. As long as it's tightened up I wouldn't worry about it mate.

loggyboy · Jan 2, 2018

Mines a nice fit, only needs a few turns of jubilee screw to go from loose to tight. Its not under huge pressure so as long as it's not falling off it should be fine.

RIC172 · Jan 3, 2018

Cheers guys, glad to hear it's nothing to worry about. I was thinking of putting some kind of rubber sleeve over the alloy pipe to give the plastic hose some more grip but it's not worth it really. Also I don't want to risk anything it getting sucked up into the throttle body!

I can't believe I've not done this mod sooner. Anyone thinking about doing it still should definitely do it.

GavC · Jan 11, 2018

Can anyone provide details for a breather filter to fit onto the pipe for a 182?
Cheers

Any universal one should be fine, probably a halfords one would suffice.

Mines a 20mm, was a little bit of a tight squeeze to get it over the pipe but does go on with some wd40 or similar on the OD of pipe.
25 would also work im sure.
