440 2.0 Induction kit

Is there a "kit" for the 2.0?

I know you could probably just bolt on a cone filter but just wondered if there was a kit? (For noise and smiles per mile etc)

If not, the JR replacement panel filter will suffice im sure as I have on in my C70 T5 and its all good.

Just curious, dont shoot me

Stick some ducting like this 480 1.7 (B18EP) Sounds very good!

Is there anything else out there?

Or am best to just bodge a cone on there?

if you just bodge a cone on there, then you pretty much defeat the object....
they look kind of nice, but add no perfromance over the original volvo one at all....the volvo airbox and flat panel filter are fine and pretty free flowing anyway.
on a trubo i would probably get a flat panel filter thats more freeflowing, but would still use the volvo box setup.

On my 440, before i had the chavvy cone filter on, i fed some flexi-tube from the bottom of the air-box and fed it to the front bumper, so the cold air was being taken directly from the front bumper:

Bumpers off obviously, but i made a hole next to the right hand foglight when the bumper was back on. Made no difference at all! Just made the car look cool...i think

Jus found the pic with the air feed in the bumper. I took the pipe off from under the airbox, cut off the big bendy bit, cut the end bit off-found some flexi tube, popped the end of the pipe into the flexi, made a whole next to the fog and fixed it in place. Nice and neat, and very chavvy

Air filter made a nice raspy noise though-sounded a bit louder after too...
