Okay more for wank/rice/bling value than anythign, i'll be running a pod filter with the supercharger setup.
It will be a cold air type setup with polished pipes fabricated by Exhaust Tech here in Adelaide.
I will be buying my own K&N filter and they will design the cold air system around it, so i'm asking you to decide which filter you like better.

this one or

this one.

I can't decide.
The filter will be pretty much where that big black ducting box is on our clubbies, up near the grille and above the flywheel housing.


Thanks.
Will.

The top one.

Same length but 2/3 of the width of the bottom one, so it takes up less room.

It's a clubman engine bay, not a Morrie :lol:

Room isnt really an issue.
The air horns are staying out for good and the cabin air duct is gonna be taken out too.
Its more asthetics than anything... so do you still think the top one?

The bottom one - looks like it flows better too.

The top one looks like one of those KMart Auto jobbies :roll:

Another vote for the bottom one. Mounted behind the grill, air has a direct path into the filter.

Do these come with proper bell mouths etc?

I have a unifilter on my GTI, and the intake noise is just awesome! Just like those weber guys go on about...

Fatty... the flange mount is 3", so I will be having a cold air setup made with 3" stainless pipe, then up to a flange with a 37mm hole in it, for the inlet on the carburettor.
The filter will not be directly onto the carburettor, as i will be having the pod at the front of the grille and the carby will be pretty much where it is at the moment, but turned 90*.
