You can, however the silicon hose is very stiff and relatively short which doesn't allow for movement.

Once the filters are connected, there is very little/no flex whatsoever.

I did expect to make up some support, but after 'simulating' big bumps by trying to flex and bend the new install, I was satisfied that they do not move at all.
After adjustment, there is no interference with the bodywork either, so I didn't have to use any velcro or padding to stop metal to metal knocking.

So, sorry in delay for getting back to you guys, but I was away on a course...

ITG were used on the Project 8 as OE fitment, and are extremely good quality for the price. They are of course re-useable/washable and should last for donkeys years.


So, this is the chap to direct your emails/calls to.

Are you sure about the 15 bhp claim as that sounds a lot for a air filter. I fitted some to a Skyline gtr some years ago running circa 680bhp. They actually reduced the power but sounded incredible. They were APEX I racing. The original system had free flow filter fitted which we re-instated after dyno runs.

Most air filter claims are twaddle and not noticeable all u really gain is sound on turbo cars induction sound and release on lift off
And on supercharger cars then supercharger whine

I am considering to install the ITG Maxogen Cold air induction kit on a V6S. Has anyone tried that yet?

After market Air filters allow the car to breathe easier as they are usually less restrictive. In older cars, you had to use this in sympathy with a free flowing exhaust and richen up the mixture.
The F-Type has a pretty free flowing exhaust, and can adjust its own mixture to suit 'on the fly'


This Dyno plot is taken from DAE's website for very similar filters. Plot 1 and 4 are before and after.

15hp increase and a slight increase in torques.

Excellent quality and shed a few kg's of flab.

Can hear the SC whine nicely now, happy as a pig in sh! t. :D
Will I be able to get the Same intake Kit from ITG if I contact them? Also, does it come as a full lower intake kit or only the filters. I have already contacted them and I am still waiting for their reply, but I have no idea what to tell them in order to get a setup similar to yours and I have no Idea if they can ship to saudi arabia.

No, ITG manufacture the free flow air filters.

Mina make the lower and upper air intake tubes, but several forum members on the US side have had issues with Mina, including myself.

The supercharger whine is unleashed by just installing the ITG filters.
The upper and lower intakes from Mina make little or no difference according to some that have them fitted here in the UK to XFRS's.
