This requires 0 modification to fit into our airbox w/o adapters to fit...hopefully i i will have mine next month...just wanted to give you guys a heads up
I like this. But my question is wouldn't performance be worst than a standard k&n since the car would breath hot engine air? I would love the sound tho.
Yes the filter is exposed on the right side of the air box. But it's not really going to be worse than a k&n, considering their intake system is a short ram and also breathes in hot air, and their drop in is only slightly less restrictive than stock.
Let us know....there wouldnt be that much hot air due to the opening being close to the edge of the fender...you get colder air there once you start moving
A few words for the hot air problem. K&N and New Mission air intake mod. Open top cover vs closed with this mod. is two HP This with my own car on a Mustang Dyno
I got my buschur racing filter in last night. It was pooring rain so no pictures. It installs 10 times easier then the k&n filter, as it is slightly shorter then the K&N. Fits perfect.
Initial impressions. Sounds great. Cruising sounds like stock. Half throttle to full throttle sounds like a intake but not as loud. Ive only drove it once this morning to work with no coffee. Does it feel faster? Who knows my butt dyno was still asleep. Does it sound nice? Yes I love it and its staying in. The K&N with 7000 miles is for sale.
This is a bad idea, and let me tell you why. I know from experience with my Focus.
The MAF housing is plastic. When you tighten the filter with the band around the MAF housing, over time, the MAF housing becomes distorted. The housing begins to collapse under the heat and will loosen the air filter. The filter will then fall off.
This is why the OEM style air filters do not require a tightening band (being supported on the opposite end). For a banded filter to be effective, you need a better MAF housing.
I guess ebay was just lying to me about the filter not being shipped, because I got it today! :>
