Benyon Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 I know where to get an apexi filter from however i cant find a headshield, Do you have to make them yourself? I have been searching for a picture of one installed on a N/A does anyone have one they can put up? I Bought a TOM'S panel filter but not fitted it yet as i am considering the apexi. I wont be going into detail tuningwise but i dont want to lose any power nither So i need to find a good heatshield. Also would i have to alter anything and fit cold air feed or will the stock one do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoff Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Try somewhere like Demon Tweeks, Im sure they do them. LOads of people have heat shields so try a search on here. Must be some info:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benyon Posted July 31, 2008 Author Share Posted July 31, 2008 Ive been searching for 30mins i didnt want to post this assuming it had been covered already, I never thought of demon tweeks for the heatshield, Anyway im gonna carry on searching Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoff Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Dont know if this is right but hopefully some help:) http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/products/ProductList.asp?cls=ROAD&grp=RP099&pgrp=R010&tlgrp=R010 And http://www.espdesign.co.uk/Air_Filters-Universal_Fit/c2708_3223/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benyon Posted July 31, 2008 Author Share Posted July 31, 2008 Demon tweeks said they have heatshields but they are not sure if it will fit an apexi on my car, I have found more info on them and some pics, Im thinking it might be better to wait till one comes up on here forsale with a shield, that will be sure to fit. In last few week two have been up for sale with heatshields. Might just wait to save hassle. Thanks for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Stock airbox will supply cooler air, toms filter will give the same lack of performance upgrade as an apexi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stock is best in most peoples opinions:) Induction kits can give flat spots in the mid range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benyon Posted July 31, 2008 Author Share Posted July 31, 2008 My tom's is a panel filter, I know i will get better results with my stock box, but if an apexi induction kit/heatshield will not make me lose power but give my engine a good sound then i would be happy, I dont want an exhaust upgrade from what i read N/A produce louder notes than what a TT would.

Another vote for the stock airbox, the extra sound you will get from the induction kit is not worth the hassle as it wont be much louder. As for exhausts there are a few quiet performance exhausts to choose from that still give a nice note and are not too loud, just keep both cats in to keep it as quiet as possible.
