Due to the difference in MAF diameter.

However, having said this... there are ways and methods to mate the filter to it.

One thing to note, if the heat shield is specifically for 6 potters, then it won't fit the Valve..

as for Wilson... *shakes fist* ahahahahahahaha

Too tight and you may crack the CF tube. From here on, you can have a choice of cone filters to play with eg. Apexi, Blitz, K&N, Simota, etc...as long as the diameter fits the CF tube. If the intake pipe of the cone filter is too big (by a few mm), you can always bring it to a shop and lathe it to fit the CF tube. You will end up like me having many cone filters in the store room!! Have fun.

Hi Gabey,

Thanks, yeah will changing the filter change the growl generated from the CAI?

Yup. Different construction will give you different effects. The ITG provided is considered quiet! Some others like Blitz will give you more growl. I found the Apexi to be the best compromise between sound and performance but you need to shave off a few mm from the intake pipe in order for it to fit your CF tube. I am currently using the Simota. Low end is not good but mid to high end is nice. Ask around, you will be surprised how many types of air filter people are using. That will save you some moola also instead of buying one to experiment.

Different engine bro!

Conforti CAI is designed for inline6 engines!

So, it will not fit the 318 valve, also there ain't any 318 valve in the States....

no wonder when i surf to find a CAI for my 318, i always see the manufacturers like AEM state that their CAI is only for 325 and above. So it's bcos the US do not have 318s.

So besides the GruppeM, what other brands are there for E46 318? GruppeM is a bit pricey but I am a CAI fan having used it before in my previous ride.

Seniors plse advise.

You can try DIY? I think some guys might have fitted a Simota Gruppe M replica on their 318s

[edlms]

cos this thread was from almost 3 years ago and the pics have probably been deleted from the cache or stored in a different location/link.

you should contact the administrators to see if they still have the photos...

cheers
