Panel or 57i?

[Nebdingo]

The engine is totally standard in my 182, no mods at all. not looking to go mad, nor am I after major power gains, just a few subtle bits and pieces, one of my first is air filter...

what would be best to do... Just change te panel filter with an ITG or K&N filter, or pop a Induction kit like a 57i in to it??

advice please...

thanks dudes

I would recommend an ITG panel filter if your after a performance increase

Seems a very common choice panel filters are better than cones for the 172 if you go by the advice on this site

Yeah panel for slight gain (not much) and little sound or 57i for power loss and big noise!

yes defo get the itg panel filter but you should also consider buying a silicon inlet hose from say hillpower together they feel and sound better, nice combo i had them before i bought my maxogen!!!

Taken from www.motorsportworld.co.uk.
Get yourself a PiperX panel from here for £31.34 (as it is the cheapest and hardly any different to the ITG from what I have seen)
A silicone elbow from Matt (Team Think) on here at £19.04
1m of hose to vent your crank case breather under the car for £2.50
£5 for some 70mm ducting to replace the acoustic valve and run a feed down into the wheel arch.
That should give you an ITG/BMC/Viper equivalent for less than £58.00.
You should notice a gain with this lot as well.
