carbon fibre simota air filter fitted.

Purchased this off a member on here and got it fitted today.

I must say it looks fantastic and the engine bay looks a lot more purposeful now with the strut brace and filter.

And what about the noise?

I haven't taken it for a test drive yet, so i'm not sure :lol:

I've removed half the foam in the sound generator so probably won't noise much of a noise difference inside.

Make sure you give it a good thrashing too. Mine would cut out with an EML light when I floored it past 4000rpm in 2nd gear or above (on an M though, so your's might be fine).

Supplier claimed it was due to mine not being remapped to take advantage of it - yet the only remapping that would have helped was to have reduced the fuelling as the error was 'too rich' - i.e. not getting enough air (due to a too narrow neck).

Got my money back, and am waiting for a sub-£300 Gruppe-M to be offered for sale

Thanks mmm-five, i'll be ready just incase that does happen now :lol:

Previous owner of it (james34) had it on his car fine i believe, so hopefully it'll be fine.

I'll take it out for a damn good thrashing (ooh er) and report back

Certainly looks better than the hideous black plastic box that comes as standard.
