i can give you examples of how they work if interested....... well il do it anyway.. ha ha

i have had both cone filter and air box and have measured BHP on cone yet to do airbox..... im lucky that a close friend of mine owns a rolling road and if im nice enough lets me use it time to tim ha ha ha.

my 1st 3.0 track car had a cone filter induction kit....... it sounded all very nice yes, and did increase bhp by 3 bhp at top end ... lower down however it suffered a 4bhp loss untill about 4100rpm....... now all i did was fit a filter and didn't change air feed simply used omega standard 1................. so yes i would fit one for noise and top end...... and just to add never had any problem of oil on maf at all.... :-/

the latest track car uses an air box with piper X panel filter... i have also taken trumpet out from top of air box ...... and original cold air feed replaced with 600mm x 80mm RAID induction Tube that fits in hole perfect and have place intake in lower half of bumper grill .....

look through lower bumper by tow eye


Now yes i dont get any noise but it feels noticibly better ...  i haven't yet however had it tested but aim to either later today (tuesday) or tomorrow.......

hope this all helps.

just to trough a spanner in the works of this debate wouldt a inclosed perfomance filter like the viper i had on my calibra be the route to take it had a cold air  feed that i ran from the bumper and is sealed so no heat from the bay can get in

quite possible i have never had 1 ... but i do know the "VIPER" is expensive!! even more so when you compare it to an air box thats already in the car and the need for a £35 panel filter and £10 induction hose to complete the job.

Thanks everyone for all your help. A mate told me what a MAF is & explained it to me. I actually understand they are a bit delicate. I'm toying with the cold air intake behind the spoiler & am definately going to declare on my ins. Exhaust still standard as whole new rear recently fitted, £70 from a poor lad who dropped his cambelt just after fitting it.(sympathies )
      Palmer, nice lowered mig, have you lowered it & fitted neg camber, and looking @ the skidmarks did you handbrake turn it into that layby before taking the pic?
           Once again cheers all, happy Migging!!!

ha ha habelive it or not skid marks not mine  

as for suspension ... Coil overs height, bound and re-bound adjustable... front camber bolts fitted allowing +/- 3deg camber
