New composite air box shown on Duratec R Caterham - Donnington 04

With more and more noise restrictions on UK track days it is getting harder and harder to pass noise tests with standard induction and exhaust products. There are already many types of exhaust system available which provide good noise reduction. However it is often induction noise that causes problems, especially with the use of high performance throttle bodies.

This new product has been developed to work with all types of engine and all types of induction equipment.

Each box is hand crafted to fit the specific client car, ensuring maximum performance - after all, no two Caterhams are the same!

The material used for this product is a hi-tech composite, with a  honey-comb construction. It has the added bonus of being completely re-cycleable.

The smooth lines blend in perfectly with the Caterham style.


The box has been shaped in the wind-tunnel to provide the best aerodynamic performance, both in terms of induction, and overall car drag factor.


Testing was completed in secret at many top UK circuits.


An ultra-streamline model has also been developed. This one is shown on a 2.0ltr Vauxhall engined car.


Although many people like the natural hi-tech finish of the new airbox, it is also available in any colour of finish to special order.




Off for another near silent session!
