K&N one in my Williams is just fine.

Wont stop your 172 from rattling though. Haha!

 

[SHORTY]

nice one

 

[SHORTY]

is that the pannel filter type rhys

 

[rt172]

Yeah, just replacement panel.

 

[SHORTY]

do you notice any difference at all, and how much are they

 

[rt172]

Was only about £30. Not going to give mega power gains (if any!) but Ive always prefered the freer flowing replacement panels to the paper ones. The revs just seem to pick up better. Dunno really, just subjectively more "driveable". Cant do any harm anyway!

 

[SHORTY]

cheers mate i will probably order one

 

[paddymph]

me too! gettin one on Saturday hopefully!

 

[BenR]

i thought you didnt like your car?

 

[paddymph]

arrrrrrrrr, not again!!!!! Please! i cant handle that all over again

 

[gord r]

i can supply k&n filters

 

[172man]

do they go in the std airbox?

 

[swelch]

I fitted the Green replacement filter on Saturday as K&N still do not do one for 2001 onwards 172 / Cup.

Has made a difference:-

1) Pulling away feels a little more controlled.

2) Mid range feels like it has a little more torque

3) 5000Rpm + pulls a little better and has more of an angry growl to it

[172man]
