hi all

got a strange question, is that crappy looking plastic cover required on the STR? the reson i ask is everytime i see one on a picture its been removed? i know the supercharger has a tendedncy to heat up, would removing it not help with cooloing or am i missing th point a little??

 

I believe the cover was designed mainly for noise suppression. Screw-type superchargers make a whining noise. Removing it isn't going to harm the motor.

 

i see, i love the sound of the whine! the louder the better, lol.

 

gregstar, how's your K&N working for you?

 

ive not taken delivery of it yet, waiting for the post man my signature kinda covers whats happening in the next week or two. i couldnt resist

 

Mine must have been removed by the former owner. And even though there have been back and forth on this forum about the k&n, I really like mine. At the very least the blower is louder.

 

Not to hijack this thread too much ... but i've been running a K&N air filter for 30,000 miles and have had zero problems. Last week I checked my intake pipe, inlet to supercharger and MAF sensor and they were clean as a whistle.

 

ive had them on many bikes in the past but never on a car. worst comes to it ill pull it out and bin it! i cant see it happening though

 

Where did you guys buy yours, and how much?

 

ebay £35

 

Used $25

 

The filters are nicey nice.....I got one the first day I got the car.....I am running the 3lb pulley as well from Pheonix COach works....have fun grinding the snout down

 

I'm getting it done at the coachworks garage. Fully fitted £200. Bargain!

 

nice

 

Loving my KN, with the intake elbow, the blower is really loud now.

 

Then get us all the intake elbow!!

 

Ordered one on e-bay, $41 shipped. Removed the baffle today.

 

you will notice a large difference!

 

I kept the black plastic cover, but I did fill in the SUPERCHARGED letters with white paint
