jimmixr Donating Members 686 Member For: 14y 4m 27d Posted 14/05/12 09:41 PM Share Posted 14/05/12 09:41 PM I purchased and have installed one of thes "illegal" KMP/FPV air box's recently. The way I see it..if you've managed to get to the point of Mr Plod is actually lifting your bonnet to have a look you'd be basically in the poo for something anyway. There will be,in most cases other mods ( ones that are harder to reverse) that they'll screw you over.. cat/dumps,wheels,exhausts, even battery relocations and the like.At the end of the day its personal choice. Herrods looks good and is allot more conservative.. but for me its still drawing hot air from under the bonnet till you get to enough road speed top force cooler air from around the headlight and ducting..But again its personal choice, lets just be thankful that these guys are still bothering to put their money where their mouth is..Until theres back to back dyno tests were all just hypothesizing...Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my only beef.Just gonna say for the 100th time that it is legal as is the PW/Plaz/Staino/Rapid. Passed a complete epa test with a pod as long as breather and bov is connected and you can't see it! Anymore people bought these? Throttle response or nah? Had a turbo side box but prefer to run factory side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a turbo side box but prefer to run factory sideIts one thing Ive never been 100% sure on.I did call and speak to the EPA about this when I was modifying my car and they told me that if I have an aftermarket intercooler then I can not modify the standard airbox and it has to stay in its original location. I just wish there was a black and white answer to this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
