Default K&N cone filter + carbon elbow, NOW WITH PIC!!

Any idea who makes this combination? I was told it is a Cargraphic kit but it is not listed on their website.

Ciao,

Johannes E.

I can not answer your question. However, my approch for more "charged" air was to use a BMC air filter and the OE air box. Aside from rain water, perhaps not where you live, entering the engine bay and or engine itself, you loose most of the ram air effect off the hood, roof and wing by using a cone design.

That is some pretty hot air in the engine compartment. Usually there is a housing for it to sucked in from the outside.

JMcD,

I currently also run a BMC panel filter in the OE airbox, just thought that this setup looked good when I saw it on another GT3 when visiting my home country Sweden.

I think manthey Racing offer a kit for your first generation GT3. One word of advise though, in order to make more horsepower, this kit should be used in conjunction with an exhaust and ECU. If used alone, it might sound great but it, also, might lower your horsepower.

That's a good looking intake, nice downgrade for a GT3.

It would be a downgrade/power loss when the car is stationary but in motion and improved airflow, it could potentially be a bit better than the stock airbox. Cup cars have in the past used a similar setup combined with improved airflow and benefitted from the mod.
