Air filters?

[Crybert]

Which do u guys use? I'm doing an interim service. Was just going to stick to oem but open to others. I realise I won't achieve any gains in relation to power but a nice sound would be an option.

ps I have a ktec racing exhaust

I just went with standard.

I fitted a ph1 airbox with a ktec air filter inside. It sounds insane! Feels more responsive but that just may be in my mind, certainly hav'nt lost power though.
Always another option

Nice one matey. How would you describe the sound? Also is it much more expensive than standard?

Hard to describe, it just sounds like a deep roar lol. I should try and do a video really sometime, it certainly turns heads when I put my foot down that's for sure! Also it has a slight whistle sound to it when you get really high in the rev range which sounds pretty cool.
I love it best £40 I've spent. Has put me off the exhaust idea now as I feel I don't need one for noise!

how do you know you've not lost power?

Well, I can't be 100% sure unless I did a dyno before and after, but I drive the car a hell of alot and it doesn't feel any different! Just more noise. Initially when I put my foot down it seems to pickup better, but as I say that could all be in my head

 

[Gandi69]

its probably placebo effect due to the louder induction noise to be honest

 

[Crybert]

The noise u describe is similar to mine at the moment. Well the whistle anyway! Cheers mate. Ill look into it

 

[iOllieSM]

Yeah it probably is. Either way I didn't do it for the power increase: you don't gain much at all / if anything with air filters. I just didn't want to lose power feels like I hav'nt so I'm more then happy with the results of putting on this ph1 box!

 

[plymcl172]

Its up to you but I went with a Powertec from k tec just for pure sound and I am more than happy with mine

 

[turner24]

Ive got the ktec induction kit and the sound it makes is enough to put a smile on my face everytime

Standard box with a Green filter inside... can't tell if there's any noise difference as I got a new exhaust system put on at the same time lol.
