The best air filter for a 172?

[Rob's172]

Hi I have just bought a Clio 172 (and absolutely love it) and was wondering what is the best air filter to get in terms of performance and noise? I have always gone for K&N in the past for my metro and saxo vtr and found them ok. Any suggestions and how much do they cost?

Thanks

welcome mate, there are many to choose from

k&n would be the best for noise, but performance wise you wanna get yourself an enclosed induction kit, like a viper or itg (but these are expensive)

the standard airbox is probably the best option. just replace the air filter inside with a performance one such as Pipercross, ITG etc...

will be much better than most induction kits, and costs £30!

Powertec are the best for noise, really beefy old IK's, especially the oversize 8 inch size filter they do if there is one for the 172. But with open filters a cold air feed is a must.
