Which filter (metal neck) have people gone with?.

The filter I have is too big and needs to be swapped

Will this ramair filter fit?

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/271763944731

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

This is the one iv got bud @imprezaworks

 

[Jekyll]

I have this one:

[imprezaworks]

Same one as each other?

Anyone got a quick pic

 

[imprezaworks]

Ordered, £25 delivered.

Will fit it Wednesday/Thursday.

 

[MrBlonde]

Anyone using any other filter rather than the Ram Air/Pipercross one?,im looking to replace mine with Green cotton,jetex or even itg but they are exspensive.

 

[imprezaworks]

I used an itg larger filter, no difference In noise. What you looking to achieve?

If it’s noise save and trade for a Ktec.

No reason really as mine is a bit tatty now and just looking at trying a different one.

ktec is to expensive really is it not just for a filter?,prob get another ram air if i cat find anything.

 

[imprezaworks]

It’s the silicone bend that helps the noise. Imo.

 

[Pricey98]

I've only had the fatty on my car for about two weeks and already want the Ktec. Don't get me wrong, the fatty sounds awesome but the Ktec definitely sounds better. It is a lot of money for a silicone hose and a filter, however it's comparatively cheap compared with an ITG Maxogen, BMC, etc.

 

[imprezaworks]

Second hand they seem to go 80/90 so not too bad.

 

[massiveCoRbyn]

Or buy this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Renault-...hash=item2386ca5194:m:mojIqVWCLNHmFlWe4f0Ulpg

The Fatty kit looks better than the Ktec one in my view. The long bendy silicone hose just looks really ungainly and unprofessional I think. Adding the above to the Fatty kit is still cheaper than the Ktec one too. Everyone's a winner.

 

[MrBlonde]

I already have the fatty set up and to me it sounds better with the alloy tube than just all silicone,i may just get the ktec filter.

Are the Ktec filters available separately?

 

[MrBlonde]

Yes mate

 

[massiveCoRbyn]

Aren't Ktec filters just Ramair anyway?

 

[Pricey98]

Aren't Ktec filters just Ramair anyway?

I did read that somewhere. Only difference I can see from the filter that people use with the fatty kit is that the Ktec filter fits inside the silicone hose. Otherwise it's pretty much the same...

 

[MrBlonde]

The ktec one looks bigger i think,maybe wrong tho.

 

[massiveCoRbyn]

Ramair do a million-and-one different filter sizes, so you might be able to find something similar from them. Loads on eBay in their shop.

 

[imprezaworks]

I’ve spoke to ramair before, I think they do supply the filter for Ktec. I do t think you can buy it cheap/direct from ramair though.

 

[MrBlonde]

Yeah im going to get in contact with ram air and measure the gap behind headlight,see if i can get one a bit bigger to what i have now.

 

[imprezaworks]

I’ve had the bigger one mate, no difference in noise.

It’s the density of the filter, Ktec one being more so

And coupled with the complete silicone bend.

 

[MrBlonde]

So i got just the ktec filter and new silicone hoses and fitted this afternoon,looks so much better than before.

Can you smell any vapours from the breather?

 

[MrBlonde]

Can you smell any vapours from the breather?

No i cant,ive got a small filter fitted to back.

 

[MrBlonde]

Thanks mate,will post a link up later this afternoon.

 

[MrBlonde]

So on the way to work this morning i gave it a bit of beans to see if any difference.To be honest theres not much difference,if anything i think its louder rasper with the metal pipe on,i was half asleep tho.So will test again on the way home,any how looks much better and a new filter rather than the dirty knackered ram air one.

 

[Simon998]

My Fatty with the metal ASH pipe and large Ramair filter sounds ridiculous. I'm tempted to replace it with a standard airbox.

What's this bit called? I tried searching on eBay with no luck.

 

[imprezaworks]

Ecu bracket mate

 

[imprezaworks]

Maybe the same part number today

[Simon998]

Excellent, cheers man.

PS: Anyone looking a better induction hose than the Ktec, this one is only £49 and has the breather pipe.

[imprezaworks]

The full length pipe would be ideal.

I have one like that above with the metal pipe etc.

 

[leedsboy]

Does the size of the Ramair filter alter the sound at all? Would I bigger one be better for the engine to get more air in?
