myimportedbeast Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 Does anyone know much about the vortex air filter induction kit..? I bought one off eBay yesterday for £8.50 and cleaned it all up when I got home...do they need a sealed cold air intake and will the cold air feed I hav getting cold air from under the car be sufficient?

dublet Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 Link? If it is what I think it is, you just wasted £8.50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J03 Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 (edited) Throw it against the nearest wall, do it now & do it quickly. If it's purely just a filter & not one of those silly electric fans, then ignore the above. Edited June 17, 2013 by J03 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digs Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 you thinking electric supercharger thingy? Is it that or just an filter to make nice roaring sounds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myimportedbeast Posted June 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 Nooo its just an enclosed air filter in a cylindrical holder if that makes sense... http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=321138366002 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dublet Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 Isn't that just a cylindrical version of the air box? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digs Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 cone filter goes inside it so nott he same, stick a pipe from under the car into it I would imagine and stick that where the exisiting air box is? did you get the cone filter as well?
