Well, about a month ago, I posted up a wanted topic for a front mounted air filter kit and received a response in the form of a link, to ECC's kit.

The pics looked brilliant of their offerings, and the price sempt spot on also, so I went for it and ordered the kit.

This was Friday, at about mid-day when I sent the funds via PayPal.

The item was in my workshop by 11am this morning! :O

Truly staggered by the speed of delivery, with only a £5 charge, :)

Then of course, I opened the well packaged product, to discover the best value product I have ever bought for the GT!

The quality of this kit is superb, with everything needed to fit, all protectively wrapped, neatly in the box.

In the kit there are;

Silicone 90deg reducer,
304 Stainless 90deg reducer,
AEM Dry filter,
2x AEM Decals,
3x jubilee clips,

:)

The only issue with the whole kit, is that the turbo end of the silicone, is about 1 1/2" too long, and had to be trimmed slightly to fit behind the PAS pump.... DODDLE :)

All in all, easy to fit, looks mint and sounds the part!

I would reccomend everyone in this sector, to buy this product!!! :drive:

Best wishes, Tommy.

yeah I have one and agree with everything, came super fast, and as said, only thing needed doing was about 3/4 inch trimming off the silicone pipe that fits the turbo, otherwise it wants to bend up and off the inlet, quick trim sorted it right out

yeah thatd be a good idea bob, as I cut mine with a stanley lol, all i had, and although it works 100% fine, it wernt the prettiest cut lol. i cut off 3/4's of an inch and fits perfect now. hope that helps

what part needed trimming? Pics?

I fitted mine with no trimming at all. Went straight on 100%

I didn't trim mine either, went on no problem. But yea, it probably would be a better fit if the silicon was trimmed slightly shorter where it fits onto the turbo inlet (to clear the oil filter a bit better).

Suppose that could be to do with some aftermarket manifolds where the turbo might be sitting a bit to close to the oil filter than the standard manifold

Imo id leave it for the customer to do, as sigma said he cut 1.5" and durmz said he cut 3/4" so maybe better leaving them to trim it to their requirements!?
Unless that was said with tongue in cheek seeing as it isnt much hassle for anyone :p

i have a standard mani and turbo. i had to cut a fair whack off otherwise it would not fit onto the turbo due to oil filter.

tbh aiden i didnt think of that so thats a good point. i have an sps mani and trimmed to avoid oil filter.

so yeah maybe it is a good idea to leave trimming to customer
