I've seen a few threads referencing this topic, but most of them seem to stem from the one dyno test that was done years ago as the kit was being developed. I'm curious what the current consensus is on socks v. airbox from anyone with firsthand experience.
I've been running some ramair socks, but want something with a bigger flow area that connects the throttles and a nice way to mount an IAT sensor. I like the RHD option, but have some concerns. One one hand, I could see it making that side of the engine difficult to work on. It also looks like a pretty decent job to remove/install it if I needed to, and finally I've heard it makes them a bit quieter.
I was kind of curious and reached out to ITG about a custom sausage style filter. I haven't heard of anyone ever looking at these and was wondering if there was a reason for that? They said they could make a custom one for a price comparable to the airbox, and it would be easier to remove as it is secured with 6x 1/4 turn fasteners. It seems like this would solve all of my problems listed above, but I haven't had any actual experience with them. It seems like the biggest downside would be a potential for increase intake air temp, but the RHD airbox just uses a cone filter in the engine bay albiet it is mounted further forward.
