air filter or induction kit??

[anth-clio1.6]

hi all,

what would you guys recommend fitting - replacement performance air filter, or induction kit??

cheers.

Replacement filter as its gettin warmer, Induction kits although they sound great will just cause heat sink.

hey,

If your after performance then induction kit. I found the induction kit increase the
throttle response and shaper acceleration, also you will have a deeper engine note when booting about.

i have a applo k&n kit on my clio197 it sounds the dogs and seems to pick up a bit better.
this is a pic off the kit on the car.

Ive just fit a BMC CDA to mine, sounds lovely and it gives a slight increase in performance, not much tho! Get a closed air one with a cold air feed tho! If you were thinkin of k&n's and the like you may aswell just get a panel filter!

i hve a viper for sale that will fit your car depending on what year it is? pm me.

thanks for the help guys, still considering the options, i had an induction kit on my last two cars, but i had read that panel filters work better 'cos of the induction kit taking in the heat from the engine, and i wanna go more for performance than "just noise" this time around.

medici999 i've pm'd you ref. your viper.

Go for a decent panel

 

[anth-clio1.6]

is the K&N one decent do you know?

I've only ever used K&N in the past.

cheers

K&Ns are good along with Green and ITG

I've got a Green panel in my 172 which is pretty similar to the K&N....I chose it due to reccomendations from friends who run/tune Subarus and use them frequently without problems.

Also cheaper than ITG

 

[anth-clio1.6]

i'll check them out aswell then,

thanks for the advice mate.

get a bmc cda like this

you're not suddenly going to get colder air if you only get a panel filter + the oem induction setup on the 1.6 is really bad

 

[Neil G]

The BMC is good but much more ££££s than the panel

 

[MT AUDIO]

but you sound and performance and its worth the pennies (and pounds)

 

[anth-clio1.6]

anyone got a part number for the BMC?
i havn't got a lot of money at the min tbh, aren't they 'bout £200 or summit?

 

[dansonamission]

ask john at 2modified, he'l do you a good deal.

 

[MT AUDIO]

there around 140 mark on most sites ive seen

I had a powertec induction kit, got rid of it, the noise was good but the engine just didnt feel the same, wasn't as responsive and felt a lot looser (if that makes sense). Ive now got a ITG panel and would highly recommend and will actually save you £££'s over the years.

All BMC CDA's are a shade over £150 from larkspeed

 

[anth-clio1.6]

thanks for the help guys,

think i've got my heart set on a bmc cda now, that kit seems to be the best value for money.
