K&N induction kit

Vectra · Aug 31, 2003

Does Fitting a K&N affect my renault warranty and does it make any difference to my insurance. Will I notice any difference in performance fitting it to my 172 Mk2

Tom_16v · Aug 31, 2003

You will notice a difference in performance - a decrease!

Either put a panel filter in or a fully sealed IK like a Piper X Viper.

Bubbles · Aug 31, 2003

Im taking off the k&n from my valver.. makes a nice noise, but its sh*t..

VoRN-182 · Aug 31, 2003

Same here, I think mines a Piper X. Proper roars though

Ive been looking at those Vipers... do you need a cold air feed for those? Dont fancy losing a fog light!!!

Must say since fitting mine it sounds amazing but i have noticed a decrease in performance.

It has improved my away form the lights time but otherwise its a struggle to hit 100 where as before it was easy.

Or use a £12.00 piece of pipe to relocate the K&N and you wont lose performance and will gain a great induction noise. Didnt do me any harm..... 14.6 1/4 mile......

it all depend on how you get air too it, hot air aint no good cold air is!!!

just sold mine, chloe has her normal filter on now and shes running realy well ive just re designed the cold air feed and shes loving it all that yummy yummy cold dense air.

VoRN-182 · Sep 1, 2003

my air filter would be too big to fit next to the battery!

ak16v · Sep 1, 2003

Stick with the standered air box and pipe it up to the front of the car, job done, oh and shove in a replacement element K&N or something

rt172 · Sep 1, 2003

But my way gives you no performance loss with the benefit of the highly addictive induction kit ROAR!

(there are three cold air pipes coming from under the car that you cant see in the picture above)

I have a Viper and you dont need to remove a fog light...

Bryan · Sep 1, 2003

just fit the air intake into the lower grille of the front bumper, no need to remove the fog light

Flipper · Sep 2, 2003

Oo-er, my K&N induction kit arrived about 15 mins ago. Im not so sure I wanna fit it now! Although I may just pop to Halfords for some Hosing like Rhys has done. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.............

Quote of the day!!! Hurrrrah!! do this. you wont regret it

(PS Maxogen is coming hmmmmmmmm)

Gilly · Sep 2, 2003

wat about if i bought the relocation pipe with a piperx? would that still decrease the power in any way?

Cuppy 172 · Sep 2, 2003

Yes, the Maxogen is coming, I am going down south to test the prototype before it goes into production

Tom · Sep 2, 2003

Cuppy 172 · Sep 2, 2003

I need a list of people that are interested in this product, in order to get a discount. I can honestly say this kit is puka, I have the RR results and prototype photos. Just cant wait to get it fitted

Please relpy with your car model (172 or Cup & name)

Tom · Sep 2, 2003

Cuppy 172 · Sep 2, 2003

Dont be angry Tomo I have been chasing this product for 3-4 months now, put ya name on the list and I promise you can be the next person. By the way K-Tec have been in touch with ITG asking for exclusive rights for this product.....................I know what ITGs reply was. NONONO

Tom · Sep 2, 2003

im only kidding greeneyed monster and all

maxogen should lend itself well to the 172.

Do you know how gutted that makes me feel? I have just spent £95 on an induction kit to find out no one rates it!

Cuppy 172 · Sep 2, 2003

Dont worry mate the final release of the product will be around December

By the way the kit gives a roar like a touring car around 4-6k revs, great.

Cuppy 172 · Sep 2, 2003

Take it back, say it dont fit, wait and get the ITG, you wont be dissapointed.

Flipper · Sep 2, 2003

OK, Im sold. Where do I get them from? How much are they?

Cuppy 172 · Sep 2, 2003

You cant get them yet but I am getting the prototype fitted soon, release in Novemeber-December, but worth the wait.

Price around £200-£300, a bit steap but honestly the profit margin is tiny compared with vipers 22.5%

Look at my new post (Put Ya Hands Up!!!)

Can you mail the RR results and piccys??? I am interested.

Cuppy 172 · Sep 2, 2003

Dont have them with me, ITG want to keep this info close their chest. I know its not rocket science for IK, but K-tec want it, so does another company who run clio cup racers, I cant remember the name, doh

OK, no probs. What kind of gains does it give then?

Cuppy 172 · Sep 2, 2003

6-7hp apparently.

Do ITG need more than one person to test the filter, you know, just to give a better view on how it works n all that

Cuppy 172 · Sep 2, 2003

Ill ask

its a hard job but someones got to do it, cant beleive not that many people are interested, never mind their loss, our gain.
