I just replaced my intake filters, went from this.


To this.


I like the look better and it sounds better, when i had the foam filters on i didn't feel safe running with just the foam filters so i kept the OEM filters in. When i switched over i removed the oem's maybe that's why it sounds better to me.

 

Looks good!

I like the new ones much better than the old.

Chrome, chrome, chrome - I need more chrome!

 

acrispy1...again great minds think alike... I also changed to the Spectre Performance cone filters a few weeks ago.

 

hi guys i've been a member since '04 when i got my '04 xf.
the question i want to ask is this when i got my xf there was no cold air intake out there it seems today there is RamAir K&N ect what would you guys say is the best iv had a look on ebay & there is a set of ramairs for the xf let me know what's the best or what are you peeps running.

 

Tony...These are not truly CAI's, they are for appearance only. There is no hp gain, but they do provide a nice growl. Try the link below, you can build your own.

don't like that site what ever happen with normal sites... thou they got lost of stuff all i found was for the SB... btw correct me if i'm wrong the set up looks great i'm looking forward to mine looking that good but is it ok to have it next to heat components? or am i thinking of something else?

 

More than likely they are sucking a bit of hot air, but not much. There are no TRUE CAI's for the XFire unless you fabricate one yourself. Also on the Spectre site you will have to pick out the parts and fabricate the system yourself.

 

uhhh ok i get it now they do have some sweet looking gear.

 

wow, you must be sucking in loads of hot air.

 

i agree sucking too much hot air, needs a cool air intake.

 

Works fine, did not lose any power or gain, i like the look and sounds good.

 

Ditto...no increase/decrease in hp, torque or mpg.

 

If it matters I also did this and noticed the two intake ducts from the grill for the stock intake are blocking air. So all I did was take the grill off and pull out those two duct assemblies out and wow way more air getting to those intake filters... I can actually get home from driving on the freeway and the intake tube is not to warm.
