Can you buy any air filters to help the car sound more powerful?

Glenn's is only meant to be an improvement over any single cone set up and it is.

Not only is the MAF still in the standard location meaning the pulsed signal from the ECU is the same strength, the air gushing in has a few ins to channel before entering the MAF too.

A design taken from HKS which is shown to work and be better than any single cone on the market.

How could it be any better if all the pipeing is the same size. surly only so much air could get through??

Nope not at all, it's about getting as much air in as possible, if you can get it in, the hot wire will sense it and start the 1st signal to the ECU.

Look at cars say like cossies, they tend to have cones the size of TV's, cos they have the room to fit one and they also work on the same principal.

Pipeing before the MAF is no where near as important as pipeing after the MAF and it is the volumetric size of the MAF that determines how much power it will acheive.

 

Just 1 other minor benefit of that set up, many zeds suffer from wet MAF's with single cones whereby water spary in winter is soaked up through the cones pointing downwards, these twin set ups dont have that problem.

Ok so with me having a single cone would i notice a differance if i was to buy a twin set up or would i just be a waste of £££

 

Obviously they would be if i went for bigger mods

you do if you're thick enough to have a vented headlight panel [cough!]

but yes youre right the upward-pointing twin filters dont suffer from road splash like the single filter

If you were beyond say the usual exhaust, normal induction, chip and de catt, then yep a nice little upgrade would be the twin. You should feel a slight increase in torque and it sounds a wee bit different too.

 

Dave, i've had vented panels all the years i've owned me zed and no issues.

You can try loosening the the hose clip on either end of the top horn shaped pipe after the MAF, You can then twist this pipe and the cones can face more upright or angled as you like mate ;)
