Air Filters

[n45ty]

Ive got a K&N Airfilter and it does sound good. Ive got a lot of friends that keep tellin me to get Pipercross instead. Is Pipercross better or not? (performance wise)

No dont think they are, I think piperx just provide more noise.
If you want power, leave you std airbox and get a pannel filter

i heard green cotton make good panel filters, how much would it put my bhp up by?

 

[mr bognor]

1 BHP 2 at max .

 

[n45ty]

lame

You'll strugle to get more than that, ITG make the best panel filters as used by just about every motorsports team in the world!!

Well you cant expect masses of power from a filter. Those that say they get 10bhp are just kidding themselves generally.

 

[BRUN]

yea, a lot of power figures quoted in mags are complete rubbish

most of the filters are very similar to each other tbh in terms of performance

foam does better though once dirty, it will still flow fairly well, whereas cotton gauze the flow rate drops quite a lot when it gets dirty, but, saying that, in general the cotton filters are more free flowing than foam to begin with

yer, i think for a first car im doing ok anyways ill just put the bodykit on it and alloys to finish the project, if i want something special ill probably have to fork out for a clio sport 16v or something.

i prefer K&N to any other make, very good quality
