V6 air box vs standard?

[Carlv8415]

Recently bought a 182 and the seller was nice enough to give me the V6 air box. Out of the 2 what would offer the best performance gain without sacrificing to much MPG i.e gain of 3 BHP but using twice as much fuel isn't going to being economical. Considered keeping standard and running an iTG panel filter.

Thanks

personally when i had the v6 on i lost the 4.5 kick you get

went back to standard personally - the only one i would try would be a ph1 airbox?

Ph1 box and v6 box are near on identical

I'd run the V6 box personally

I changed my standard 182 box over for the ph1 172 box with a pipercross filter and the only difference I noticed was the noise.

standard box with k-tec IK ftw

When I changed my standard box for a V6 I noticed a bit less grunt lower down, but a bit more higher up,
tbh i'm so used to the deep noise it makes, I think i'd miss it if I changed back to standard or the K-Tec IK.

Yh don't want to change to a V6 box just for noise lol

He got it for free, it's worth putting it on just to see if he likes it or not,
can't do any harm seeing as it's a 60 second job to swap them over.

If he thinks, nah i'll stick with the standard setup,
then he'll get a few quid selling it on here.

Sounds like a plan

I had a standard step up and then swapped over to the V6 ! Prefer the v6 didn't loose anything power wise just made a bit more noise to be honest !

I will echo others, put mine on, didn't notice any realy gain/loss.

Just more noise, which is nice
