Standard Airbox vs Gen2

    I've got a cold air feed straight to the airbox, but since fitting the 4-1 manifold the power delivery is somewhat irratic

    I will be trying my Gen2 back on tomorrow to see how it reacts to my new exhaust setup, but does anyone have any theories prior to me doing so?

    A little write up as posted elsewhere

    I bought my car and it had a loud induction kit fitted, this one for reference: LINKY

    It's obviously an expensive piece of kit but I have never been a fan of them, so a few weekends ago I fitted a standard airbox i had spare, but used the same cold air feed from the K+N

    Here it is at them moment:

    From standard i have bypassed the resonator/anything else that was in the way and it is just an enclosed air box as it is.

    This is what it used to be like:


    Does anyone have any technical data on these? From what I've have read they are prone to heatsoak and "bogging" the car down, but since fitting the manifold you can see in the first pic it's as if the car is a bit starved of air, I'm going to refit the K+N kit when i get a spare hour or so and test it to see if it cures it, but i was wondering if PH had any theorys before hand?

    Thanks
