gazlaa72 Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 Is that the BMC panel filter? I want to do the same but the BMC and K&N are coming in at £52 and £57 but I might go get the pipercross one as its only £37 and if people are saying not much difference on their own and a slight turbo noise then might save myself £20 or even get a ramair as think its cheaper still. I think both pipercross and ramair are foam filters though hence the price difference but not sure if they have the same affect as i have always used K&N in the past. Did you remove the 'snow gate' too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 Hi i have just ordered the VWRacing one which was £58 but did look at the Pipercross one as well. I have already removed the snow grate and opened up the vents to the passenger side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExSkoda Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 Anyone got pictures of the snow grate? Lots of people say they removed it but no info on how to do it. One of the parts I've got waiting is a vwr filter so I want to remove the snow grate at the same time. Also what are the vents Beast mentioned?

I'm coming from a Fabia VRS, I looked at the Octavia but it's just too big and the latest Fabia is too slow so it looks like after 3 Skodas I will be staying an ExSkoda!
