Toms Filter & HPS Intake Pipe Fitted

[Stazza80]

Hi all,

Thought I'd post a few pics of the intake mods I've fitted tonight. Very easy to fit and glad I did it if only to find out how dirty the old filter was!!!

Also gave the air box a clean while the filter was out and sprayed the MAF with electrical contact cleaner for good measure.

Will report back tomorrow with regards to noise or performance.

Big thanks to Mark (emjay82) for posting the parts so quickly.

Cheers, Ben

Looks great @Stazza80, glad it was a straight forward job! Can't believe how dirty that filter is! I better get one...😁. Interested to know how it feels/sounds whilst driving.

Thought I'd check the cabin filter and that was just as dirty so ordered a fresh one for £6 off eBay!!

First observations are it feels a bit smoother on the power delivery, can't say there's much noise difference to honest but it has been over a week since I've driven it so didn't compare side by side with the old filter/pipe. Certainly no difference at low revs. Happy with the mod anyway as at least I know that the car can breath as best it can and that old filthy filter's been changed!!

When was your last service Ben? Just curious as to the amount of time it took for the filter to get that dirty.

August last year at Lexus, not sure if that included filters though, maybe just oil service.

Never mind the mods, it'll breath better with a clean filter. The one you took out looks like it's been in the car from the factory. Yuk.
