i have seen pictures of "aftermarket" intakes on some of the 914's here and was just wondering a few things:
1. are these home-made or bought somewhere? 2. how do you connect all the vacuum hoses to an aftermarket one? 3. any pics? this is what im kinda goin for: (IMG:http://racingguys.onlinera.com/85-0581P.jpg) (i know its a bmw, but its got the straight pipe and filter that i want) Would this work? Please post some pics if you've done this "mod" Thanks! |

QUOTE Now I am not saying that ALL aftermarket filters are useless. A paper filter does not do well if directly wetted or muddy. It may collapse. This is why many off-road filters are foam. It is a compromise between filtering efficiency and protection from a collapsed filter. Now how many of our trucks collapse their filters from mud and water? However, if a filter is using "better airflow" as their marketing tool, remember this....Does it flow better? At very high airflow volumes, probably. BUT, Our trucks CAN'T flow that much air unless super-modified, so what is the point? The stock filter will flow MORE THAN ENOUGH AIR to give you ALL THE HORSEPOWER the engine has to give. And this remains true until the filter is dirty enough to trip the air filter life indicator. At that point performance will decline somewhat. Replace the filter and get on with it. |
