Ramair Air Intake Kit Renault Megane Mk4 1.8 RS (Foam Filter)

Ramair Air Intake Kit – Renault Megane Mk4 1.8 RS (Foam Filter)

This Ramair performance air intake kit is a direct replacement for the standard factory airbox on the Renault Megane Mk4 1.8 RS. By improving the flow of air into the engine, it helps the turbocharger breathe more freely – which can result in sharper throttle response, a more engaging induction note, and a modest improvement in performance over the restrictive OEM (original equipment manufacturer) setup.

Ramair are a well-regarded UK-based manufacturer of performance filtration and intake systems. Their kits are designed to be a straightforward upgrade without requiring specialist tools or professional installation.

What’s Included

• Black powder-coated heat shield – helps keep cooler, denser air flowing to the filter
• Ramair foam air filter – reusable and easy to clean and re-oil when maintenance is due
• Black aluminium inlet pipe – a smooth, free-flowing replacement for the standard plastic ducting
• Full fitting kit with step-by-step instructions

Why Upgrade the Air Intake?

The standard airbox on most production cars is designed with cost and noise reduction in mind, not outright performance. Replacing it with a less restrictive intake system allows the engine and turbo to draw in air more efficiently. On a turbocharged engine like the Megane RS 1.8, this can translate to a more responsive throttle and a more audible induction sound when pushing the engine – something many performance drivers enjoy.

The included foam filter is a reusable design, meaning you won’t need to keep buying replacement paper filters. When it eventually needs cleaning, you simply wash, dry, and re-oil it – making it a practical long-term upgrade as well as a performance one.

Realistic Expectations

An intake kit is rarely a standalone power transformer. The gains on a largely standard car will be modest – but the improvement in throttle feel, induction sound, and long-term filter maintenance costs are genuine, everyday benefits. For those who also plan to remap or tune the ECU (the engine’s control unit), a freer-flowing intake forms a useful part of a broader performance upgrade.

Note: If your vehicle has been remapped or modified, always confirm compatibility with your tuner before fitting a new intake system.
