JMS or maxogen??

[Robh18]

Looking at replacing my standard air-box. Everyone seems to say ITG maxogen kit is the best but its nearly £400 so I was thinking would it be better to pay the extra and get the JMS inlet manifold ??

Or ... do I just keep the standard air-box as the above two will not produce that much of a noticeable gain ?

If you have got the money id go for the jms inlet you will notice and get better gains

£400 v £1200 - the JMS sounds like the better option but it's 300% more expensive.... your call

JMS but im bias....

Tis a fair whack of money though (cue, £1500 GB price and probably wont happen again, £1700 normal price)

Very different products tbf. It depends how serious you are about it.
Second hand maxogen is my recommendation to most people, unless you really want to commit to tuning.

hmm may have to find a second hand maxogen for the mo. So any one got one for sale ??

 

[Trophy237]

These one just been listed on cliosport.net with a samco hose tho!

If you're going to buy a Maxogen, you might as well just buy an Espace V6 airbox.

Costs £50 from Renault.

^^ exactly what I've got. Airbox cost a fiver from a local scrap yard, k and n filter was about 30 quid. Bargain. Also got a samco hose, all in all seems to work well and is cheap as chips.

Why an Espace ? Surely you would want a Clio v6 air-box no ? Would the Espace air-box be beneficial ?

Same airbox

V6 Espace airbox is nigh on exactly the same as the PH1 172 airbox, except it has one air hole instead of 2.

Fairly sure the Clio V6 airbox is completely different.

Sorry, I meant to say the Espace 3.0 V6 airbox, not clio V6.
