I highly recommend oiling the filter with something like Lucas oil. Even if advertised as dry foam. It will also keep it water proof. I've cleaned many foam filters from motorbikes.
you really wouldn't want to mess with putting an aftermarket air-filter bracket between the chassis & the engine mount.... you'd be much smarter to just bend the filter frame to suit or to find another location to bolt the filter bracket to..
From a personal experience like many commenters here, I fitted a cone filter with cold air feed and for the first fews days I enjoyed the sound but I found it really dragged the performance back. I went on a 90 mile drive and ended up removing it and putting standard box back in before the return journey. This was my astra g 1.6. I do hope it works for you though
They are a waste of time and money. They reduce power and do not filter the air. All you hear is the noise from the restriction it causes. Surface area is tiny compared to an original filter. Stop being scammed by people targeting boy racers and idiots. A vectra intake pipe does FA ! It passes no more air than the original pipe.
The biggest foam filters i have seen are the pipercross 200x200. Used to have one on my old GSi. They look good and do a decent job. It fills the gap where the filter sits nicely.
I'd pay to see if anyone could tell what type of filter a car is using without looking under a bonnet.. heat soak isn't much of an issue unless your on the limit & need every ounce of power, for the everyday driver the tiny amount of engine bay heat wouldn't effect anything noticeable!! a poor designed filter would do more damage... such as a cheapo item shown in this upload
@@malp6280 I agree. Its all subjective really. They do it for the induction noise more than anything else. I'd sooner my engine was not sucking in all sorts of shite and breathing properly through the airbox an entire design team spent months developing.

@@GeorgeEI7KO ultimately if your wanting a cooler air supply with a sporty engine/intake note... you could 1: heat lag the standard air-box & route a more sensible duct (standard rather then this Vectra idea) whilst removing any restrictions within (you have already) 2: add a pod filter to the inside of the standard box & do the same again with an intake port (these generally use vacuum to increase the air supply hence a higher volumn is sucked in compared to running an open filter. 3: have a fully open filter pod only with some heat-shielding around the back/base & side.. again you'd then need multiple air feeds to supply a good feed to the filter (vacuum wouldn't apply due to it being open-air) the ram-air effect also isn't really in effect as you've not cut holes into your bumper/bonnet to direct air into the intake. your rite in saying the engineers spend months in designing the airboxes etc as they do, however they also have to follow guideline to keep intake noise down & to help manage the set engine performance & emissions to the value governed to them "blar blar blar" ppl using heat soak as an excuse well! "your not a race-driver neither are they" so loosing afew BHP you'd not really notice under normal road conditions even if you 'fast & furiously' styled your car. you've mentioned how this freebie filter you could feel the car struggle in pulling away, that's more then likely down to a poor material used in the filter so the car would struggle to breath "especially more so if it was a hot day, added to the mix" you could replicate that by wrapping a plastic bag around your filter & trying to move your car down the street (don't forget the car needs a certain amount of air to produce power/combustion) if your wanting cooler air for the filter, relocate the filter under your head light, behind the bumper add a small heat shield to reduce radiant heat from the engine & radiator, your cars N/A by the looks so power increases will be nil to none at best. So adding the filter will only really add an intake note & if you mix it with a nice exhaust then you could get a nice exhaust note altogether... or you could go stupidly loud if the pipe dia & resonators/silencers are removed (that could have a negative effect on engine power as back pressure would drop.... pps I do think Mr Lo probably did make that filter lol
I've got a ramair setup on my mk5 golf gti, the filter they provided in the kit was much bigger than the one you got sent. Maybe they only send the larger style if your car is a turbo? The turbo flutter is insane with one of these though, really opens things up. Not really sure it'll do much on a naturally aspirated car other than increase intake noise.
I put a RamAir kit on my my Corsa E Turbo 1.4 and its sound amazing, got the pipe just like you have to reduce the risk of heatsoak,, you will sorry to say have to re-oil it at its service interval, RamAir do the kits to clean the foam and re-oil, easy done.
Filters are great if lest restricted but the main reason the factory filter is boxed is when your sat in traffic your going to take lots hot air in the feed Heat soak is real with anyone that puts cone filters on hot air is less power it’s that simple box your cone in and give it as much cold air as possible
You could always at a later date, use the original oval vectra C but that's closest to the bonnet catch, the when it goes to the round pipe, cut it and use the foiled ram air pipe to the filter.. you'll have more intake air through the grill🙋♂️
On my car BMW has added a "flap" to the airbox which opens above a certain rpm, this is open to the engine bay and complements the usual cold air intake into the airbox. The engine manual states that at the rpms/speed it opens at there is sufficient air movement under the bonnet not to ingest hot air.
Induction kits are good, they do get your MAF sensor dirty faster, so if you get stumbling idle, just clean the maf sensor off with some maf spray. Car sounds great, it can breath better, more responsive pedal at lower revs. I just done a muffler/ silencer delete on my vectra c. And today I'm straight piping it with a hoffmann race tube so it will be a cat back straight through. Total cost for cat back exhaust and fully fitted £160 GONNA SOUND INSANE LOL
Great video as always Jane's however one thing that has bugged me is the fact that you haven't used it to it's full potential as that pipe extends so you can mount it in the bumper somewhere alot of people route then out of the fog light or sometimes through the bottom grill maybe a suggestion for you
Trust me.. it won't make a blind bit of difference apart from adding induction noise and robbing your engine of a few horses.. What would of been better.. if you had kept the stock set up and dropped in a performance filter.. you won't be getting the induction noise, but you "possibly" might be adding a couple more horses..
Intake upgrades work well with chargers and upgraded exhasut and bore or stroke or valve upgrades ect An airfilter alone will only slightly improve response and flow. A filter alone Depending on location can be cold air which is always better for an engine and will always give a subtle noticable power improvement It may help with a dash of extra torque and if flow is good more power at high engine and travelling speeds. More speed means more air more air means more power/speed ect a loop effect till redline so to speak. In truth All upgrades are designed to work better with other upgraded stronger and less restrictive parts.
Just like to point out I put a induction kit on my lancer 1.6 16v and it made a huge difference it sounded like I put a whole new exhaust system through it’s amazing sounds great
It feels slower due to the continuity principal. Air speed increases due to the pipe decreasing (small intake pipe from the airbox), this gives low down torque. With a large cone filter you'll gain BHP top end with the sacrifice of low down torque.
Ino this is a really old.video but where did you get the stupid wee air intake pip that comes off the top of the radatior to the front of the air box can't find one anywhere
I'm pretty sure you were supposed to put the filter at the end of that pipe and stick it somewhere under the bumper. Also, you can stick to a k&n panel filter in the oem box
even on my stock cupra r I use standard airbox. non turbo cars really is wasting money on air filters , manifolds ect.. but I understand you've done it to make a video so all is well.
More often than not non turbo cars respond better to simple breather mods than turbo cars do. Depending on how much of an enthusiast you are or what your objectives are I wouldn’t consider it wasting money. Not that I expect this filter to give him any power gains, just a few more smiles
rayner1704 I’m fully aware of this, I said I don’t expect this kit to give him any power gains. Just using a turbocharged car as an example isnt the most valid argument considering NA commonly respond better to basic breather mods. But my main point was that his objective was to have some intake noises, and it achieves this which is why It shouldn’t be considered a waste of money.
well iv'e now bought mk4 astra after watching your video's . i like the shape an ease of working on them. as for mods , as you said they are your choice . an as they make them for that model there are enough people who have fitted them.. personnally air box mod is not for me . but i did like the exhaust you fitted .. an when time comes to renew may get one .. keep up the great video's .

You should also advise your insurance broker regarding this & any other mod you make on a vehicle , failing to do so may make your insurance null & void
I had a ramair fitted to a mondeo st220 when i bought it. As with any mod you should advise your insurance broker. I was advised to remove the ramair or my fully comp insurance would be worthless. I ended up getting a standard air box & fitted a flatbed k&n.

Nobody knew anything about the age of tyres then so they may have had thread but been as old as the hills... these were the days before ebay/youtube so info was hard to get as were tools as we were skint.
terry atkinson I had my first car in the 80’s a cortina estate , I remember the exhaust falling off at the manifold in London at night I had to drive 100 miles back to Leicester without it The noise was deafening and the car was full of smoke ( windows open) Great days

I made the test to see if the myth about pod filter sucking hot air is true... Guess what ? It's bullshit ! Checked with an odb reader, compared the air intake temp and the outside temp. Difference ? 5°C at stopped traffic, 3°C on highway. Another difference, throttle response way better, on uphill car doesn't struggle anymore, and the sound is awesome :D
I like the look of the filter but it's not for my old FIAT cinquecentos as it confuses the rather dumb ecu. Fiat are temperamental at the best of times so if it's not broke, leave it well alone. That model of Astra was probably the best model they made. The 2007 model according to the scrap yard lad had a bad engine (1.4) and he is always looking for engine's to sell.
Vi tu video con subtítulos en inglés, cuando encienden el auto los subtítulos dicen : Music Hasta la tecnología artificial saben que se oye como música
Even for a naturally aspirated engine if your car is not tuned you get almost zero results with cone and foam filters, besides introducing hot air in the intake. If you dont want to put a panle filter on at least install a BMC carbon barrel intake. Good video bty
Keep astra vids coming. Loads. You can do. How about a better exhaust manifold.? The vectra intake is adequate for cold air flow and not look obvious like the flexi pipe.
filippance are you fucking thick? He already clearly stated he’s heard it all before and doesn’t care yet still here you are saying he’s ruined the car! Yea mate, Little bit of foam, proper insurance right off now 🤣 muppet
On a side note, never put your silver foil intake pipe on top of your battery.
I highly recommend oiling the filter with something like Lucas oil. Even if advertised as dry foam. It will also keep it water proof. I've cleaned many foam filters from motorbikes.
# oiling filters is a good idea but vauxhalls dont like it
Sensor on intake pipe is IAT sensor Intake air temperature sensor.
If you place the support bracket under the mount instead of on you will be more in line with the mouth of the air intake

Vi tu video con subtítulos en inglés, cuando encienden el auto los subtítulos dicen : Music
Hasta la tecnología artificial saben que se oye como música
Anymore plans on the Mondeo ? What about your old fiesta has it gone ?
He’s still got the fiesta,focus,mondeo,Astra and mini
Can I buy your old vector intake pipe ?
Even for a naturally aspirated engine if your car is not tuned you get almost zero results with cone and foam filters, besides introducing hot air in the intake. If you dont want to put a panle filter on at least install a BMC carbon barrel intake. Good video bty
Bet it was the 10mm spanner and it’s disappeared forever!? 😉
Can we have odd on how crap it's gonna me??!!
Just fitted one to my vaxhall insignia 2.0 litre turbo sri and sounds alot better
Hi .is this on ebay?I have a 5door version of your astra G with an after market intake...I could use some pointers ..mind sharing your email add?
Please can you send me the funk motorsport air filter
Great content mate 👍
YES CONTENT
Got 1 on my st150. They are cheap because they are shite.
Overpriced tat and will do diddly squat besides maybe increase induction noise
Keep astra vids coming. Loads. You can do.
How about a better exhaust manifold.?
The vectra intake is adequate for cold air flow and not look obvious like the flexi pipe.
Cars love cold damp air
Can I please have a link ?

Hi James,nice review on this Ramair air filter,makes it sound throaty.
Go and pick BMC CDA Carbon air intake. That will be awesome:)))
the stock intake is actually alot better. xDDD you ruined the car xD also that pipe looks like kitchen hood pipe xD
