[quote=sen;251162]What is the best cone filter you would recomend for the t5 850? Thanks inadvance guys[/quote] I'm using the BSR optiflow kit on my S70, comes with a heat shield. I've been very happy with it for the last 3 years or so!
Thanks chris where did you get this from and how much if you don't mind me asking.
Mixed opinions about this. Some say a good panel in the original airbox is better ie K&N due to the issues regarding heat. Just a thought..
Mmmm i have been thinking about that my old clio williams gave better figures with the K&n panel filter then with the cone filter. Thanks
I got mine from RT Mechanics, it was around the £120 mark at the time. Also use the same kit on my T4. If you want a cone filter, can recommend it. On the Panel Filter vs Cone filter debate:- It's all down to personal choice I guess. I can honestly say in my T4 I felt the car was more responsive after the BSR was fitted. Didn't notice any different either way in the T5. I just like the sound it makes, and the look under the bonet. People make big noises about heat soak etc.. I've never noticed a problem, and i've been on track several times. A few months ago Wobbly Dave did some 'testing' to compare a decent panel filter with a cone filter/heat shield set up. The cone filter didn't give any pefromance increase, but what it did prove is that it didn't give a performance decrease either, and intake temps weren't effected IIRC.
K&N panel, tried the cone not as good in my opinion, does sound better though.
There's another option go for an induction kit(no heat soak)

That i will do can't wait for avon 12 days to go yipee
mesh filter (sounds pretty good) with bottom half of airbox left in with original air feed works pretty well
