does fitting a "performance cone filter" count as an engine mod therfore being notifiable to the insurance folk?!

Oh well that's that. :whistle:

When I fit filters like this I usually fit an air scoop.

It was more of a question as im not sure. Probably is tho as its a "mod"!!

if I was you I would fit a performance filter and see what you can do about the standard air feed, im not sure what it looks like in the wing but I think the initial inlet is in the engine bay anyway which is pretty stupid.you might be able to fit a larger pipe to the airbox using a simpler route ending in a better location for airflow.

I would do something similar if I didnt want a snorkle :whistle:

It is. Just front of the filter box.
Something like this.

Looks like youve already extended the feed

Yup, ram air and fresh air.

If your looking for performance gains the bigger the feed pipe the better (to a degree), the simpler route the better, add a decent performance filter hey presto youll have better results than a cone filter gulping in hot air from the engine bay.
