Which air filter? K+N or Green?

[Crumbz]

My standard, 'tracing paper' air filter has seen better days and needs replacing..
I want to get a performance one as they are fairly cheap and potentially improve performance (heavily debatable) - even if it doesn't, the improved sound and guaranteed warranty is enough to win me over..

so whats better?

K+N or Green? both are similar prices and have panel filters for my spec of clio (1.2 '99)..

Cheers, Luke.

Stay OEM.

If you have an air-line with a resonance 'valve' (?) in it, unplug that instead.

 

[Crumbz]

did you not read that, im deffo going performance.. i'm just unsure which one..

A sock.

A sock.

brilliant!

this is only a replacement part, not an induction goodj.

 

[DaveDreads]

K-Tec/Pipercross, best one i've ever used.

IMO k and n are over rated, and to be honest I doubt there's much difference in them, everyone on here seems to rate the itg filters.

As mentioned above replace the resonator Thingy with a CAF, and maybe a silicone hose ?

 

[Italian_Job]

itg s the best out there

panel filters for my spec of clio (1.2 '99)..

im deffo going performance.

Losing battle

once again goodj.. read it properly.
.. if your not going to help, don't comment

 

[Will.]

Then go pipercross. It's less restrictive.

Ignore him he is always like it. If it was me id get a ktr/pipercross one.

 

[Crumbz]

hate people who talk down to other members on here -.-

Okay, ill have to have a look.

thanks

 

[Crumbz]

don't think i can get pipercross filter as they only do 1.2 16v ones, which is a flat panel..
mine is round, both K+N and Green do the round one for 1.2 8v.. Haven't seen any others

OEM filter.

 

[Mark-172]

ITG is the way to go

 

[Crumbz]

K+N or Green?!

 

[Matt W]

OEM and a can of green spray paint.

 

[Kam.]

Green. There is less seepage of the outer rim into to cotton gauze due to the more hands on manufacturing process. Should therefore have a slightly greater surface area for filtration. Whether this is noticable in power is debatable but you can tell friends down the pub

K+N or Green?!

what ever is cheapest, if your going to waste ur money, waste as little as possible

FLOL!

Why bother? It won't make any performance difference, or noise difference, or any other difference. So essentially you're setting fire to money.

 

[KEVRSI]

K&N all the way

You have a big difference, your bank account a little more empty and get a washable/reusable filter for the rest of the life of your car. That was the reason I bought mine. Of course I know at the start that nothing in terms of power/noise can be achieve only with a aftermarket filter, but if you count the price of a OEM filter at Renault (32£ plus 23% VAT in Portugal) after some years is some money!

Exactly.

He's driving a 1.2. Stick the cheapest non OEM paper filter into it and spend the rest of the money on something useful. Or booze.

haha, its only £25-£30 for K+N, that seems logical as i wouldn't have to replace it

 

[Martin_172]

i had an HKS pannel filter on my 1.2 16v

 

[Crumbz]

any difference other than not having to replace paper one?
