Out with the old, in with the new....air filter

I have now fitted the DC2 air box, trunking and OEM air filter, a long with a cold air feed from the bumper.

The air filter I got with the air box looked a bit old so I replaced this today.

I'm sure you can tell which is the new filter in this picture! I picked up another OEM replacement from Honda. I may go aftermarket in the future, like Blitz for example, but for now this will do.

For those wondering about how the DC2 air box is fitted, well I am sure there are lots of other glamorous ways of installing one, but this home made bracket does it for me!

In this picture you can see the cold air feed attached to the bottom of the air box. Under the air box is a rubber seal. I binned this and cable tied the actual feed securely around the box and fed the other end to the front bumper.


New filter fitted.



Now the resonator has been removed and the air feed fitted, there is a very nice induction growl now. I have not experienced any power loss or stuttering low down that some people say you can get either.

Chow for now.
