   What are your thoughts on this?

   Or is a green inclosed a better option?
   Anyone know if DP Motorsport is a reputable place?
   Cheers

   thought they were about half the price, must have been the old ones.
   if i was choosing id go with the green, or just panel filter and save some money

    Be-warned
    
    Before you part with your cash Take a look at how the scoop draws its cold air . . . The scoop bolts flush to the slam panel and is only feed through two very small holes in the slam panel. I run a green Ram Air filter and have been very disapointed with it overall.
    
    If you are lookin for a enclosed filter go BMC. Talk to anyone who has fitted one and they will choose it over a scoop anyday.

    Wow Rolling Road Test. G8 idea :-)
    
    See if any one will lend you a open cone just to see how a open cone fairs against 2different approaches that cost twice as much.

    right lads, the simota gave better gains, but, if used with the samco from the BMC it would be better as it has a bigger radius bend to it.
