gruppe m for dc5, fair enough, but for dc2 its just a heat shield over an exposed filter, it still uses the stock intake arm, so theres really not much diff in velocity, its not much different than your standard pod with a d.i.y heatshield apart from its carbon bling

has anyonebody got pictures of these filters in the box with the cover off?

thanks in advanced

don't go K&N, a friends brother used one, and had dirt sitting in bottom of cylinder. I have used trust, and Spoon, and now have a Mugen intake. Apparently they are the same... but I have measured the inlet/opening of the air filter, and the spoon one is slightly larger. If you remove the baffle resignator that sits in the guard, and run A/C piping from air box to guard with a drop in Spoon filter, it is great. Spoon air filters range from $190 - $225, and good A/C piping is a good $70-$100. You won't feel amazing amounts in power gain, tbh none or a tinyyyyy little bit, but the response gain is phenominal! If you want a good intake, MUGEN BABY! I never believed people when they said 7-15kW ATW, but WOW!

I have a Spoon air filter, and A/C piping for $250 if ne one is interested? I had only had it installed for 2800km's/4 months, so it's still as good as new.

You don't get dirt sitting at the bottom of the cylinder. Because the bottom of the cylinder is the top of the piston!

and even if you do have 'dirt' sitting at the bottom of the cylinder, it would have burnt off during combustion....

Getting GruppeM next week for less than 800
