Re Sommerfeldt

You are right on the money
Why not ? Looks good, better sound.
More effect ? Don`t know, but that`s not the reason.

Why are you running a cone filter on a NA car?

Because then you can hear the intake sound better.

I like my car quiet, fast with 5 spd trans, but that just me.

The stock filter design has benefits that are important to the safety and function of the car. Example is to protect the intake from water intrusion, especially in flood conditions.

You could very well be right, but how does the stock filter/box protect better than a hard shell sports filter like that? As for water intrusion, I think that if you're driving through water that reaches above the radiator, it's time to break out the life vest and start swimming instead.

I'll never understand the "stock is better than aftermarket" debate. It isn't your car, it's not your money spent on it, and it's not your time being used doing the work. If they want to do something different there is no need to throw opinions around. As for the "it protects against water" argument. If you're driving in that deep of water, you have other things to worry about. I like this forum a lot and don't want to see these stupid arguments. If you disagree, don't add anything that isn't helpful.

I like the sound it makes. Eliminates the need for a stereo upgrade

Now with new short and direct hose on filter

Looks and sounds good. A few questions about it.
Who manufactures that short ram filter, and how is the Maf secured to it? Any noticeable performance improvements?

Re PS78

1. Filter I got from here. Don`t know who produce it : http://www.carlab.dk/shop/sportsluftfil ... 5287p.html

2. On my 1992 maf house is built into the airfilter lock, but from 1997 the maf is in a seperet house : http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mass-Air-Flow-M ... odel%3A850

3. Short hose is like this : http://www.thansen.dk/bil/autoreservede ... 469928642/

4. This is the original hose from trottlehouse to airfilterbox : https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Engine- ... .18.NYOZfK
(You use the bottom part of it with the two connectors)


So filter to maf house with clamp and maf house to short hose with clamp and short hose to lower part of original hose with connectors with clamp :
1 to 2 to 3 to 4 hope that will give you the picture

Havn`t tested it yet, but at the same time I ajusted the cams (exhurst cam 3 gr avanced) That I could fell.

PS the sound you hear in video is not only from the airfilter. Got a 2,5" simons exhurst on.

Maybe it`s just me or placebo effect, but seems quicker
