Are the filters oiled like K&N filters? Can’t imagine the MAF sensors will thank you for it! |

Looks like a solution looking for a problem... 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

I did something like this years ago on a V8 RR cone filter and air scoop first bit of water I went through the jet of water hit the filter which got dragged into the engine. To add insult to injury I was dragged out by some friends in a Suzuki, something they reminded me about for a few years !

I'm guessing the OP won't be going anywhere that isn't covered in tarmac - certainly deep water won't be on his agenda.

Its tarmac only. So far so good.. theres no lag at all when taking off, just goes! MPG has went up so far by 1. Getting 25MPG now according to the computer. |

As time goes by you will end up with glazed bores in your engine and those filters are pore a catching the fine particles that polish the bores.

So everyone with cone air filters end up with glazed bores is that what your saying? Is this just Turbo Diesel applications or Petrol turbos also? |

Yes after a time - is a well known side effect of these things - not an issue on a race car as the engines get re built all the time but when used on your road car it will speed up wear in your engine as it allows very fine particles through causing cylinder bore glazing amongst other things - is a well known issue.
