The 'E' Type Forum

I'm trying to find a good alternative performance air filter for a Triple carb set up on my E-type 4.2

I might even go for ram pipes, has anyone any good suggestions?

Thanks

Harry

My car arrived into my care with K&N "pancake" filters.

The engine was freshly rebuilt... and it died a miserable death about 10,000 miles later. I do NOT attribute its death to the filters, but I resolved to revert the car as much to stock as possible. It took me forever and way too much money to acquire the stock filter assembly on ebay. I was within a few weeks and a couple of stray parts to having it restored and back on the car when I was notified by SNG that I had won a photo contest of theirs! The prize was a parts voucher. The value of the voucher matched the cost of their ITG "performance" filter, so I figured "what the hell!"

The first thing I noted was that the car's torque curve no longer flattened out in the midrange. That was a surprise. The K&N's are *supposed* to be a performance filter, but in reality they hindered performance. Go figure.

So based on that, I'd stick wit your stock setup, or something that emulates it like the ITG one.

The K&N's looked cool, but they were basically worthless in my opinion.

Hi Harry,

I've had great success with ITG air filtration systems. When I was running SU's, I used their system that was specifically designed for triple SU's.

I now use their system that is designed for triple Webers, which I have adapted to my EFI system.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,

Hi Harry,

Is this what youre looking to build an air filter system like this???

Thank for all your advice the ITG was the system I had in mind.

Cheers

I use the ITG Air Filter System to good effect: http://www.rob-beere-racing.co.uk/induction.html#filter

Remember you will need to change the carb needles (U0 I seem to recall) if you go for these type of filters or any open trumpets. Rob Beere includes the correct ones with his ITG filter set.
