aftermarket panel filter gains

hey gang

did a search, didnt find an answer.

well money is tight at the moment, but im itching to do something more than just washing to the gt, so i was thinking of going an aftermarket "performance" panel filter of some kind, just wondering if its worth doing to a stock my04 gt?

are there any real gains or is it really just best to save my pennies for a while?

Sorry to hijack your thread mason_luke. I'd like to add a couple of questions to yours as i am thinking about doing the same thing.

Will there be an increase in induction noise? (I hope so!)
Will the ECU adjust for the airflow, or do i need a retune? (MY07 GTB)

Spend your pennies! :lol:

Yes an aftermarket panel filter should create a noticeable induction noise, well compared to stock that is.

And nope simply changing the panel filter should not require a retune.

I've got an HKS filter that is surplus to my requirements.

Prefer Brisbane buyer offering beer.

Naw. I'm just lonely and like PM'ing Adam.

Besides, it's not physically possible to go back to panel filter setup anymore for me.

Let's get rid of the placebo.

Panel filter upgrade will make a SLIGHT change in induction noise to be louder.

You will not gain any performance difference, it sounds meaner so you'd think it goes harder, but the gains are negligible.
