K&N Air Filters oppinions please

Post by andy & fonz »

Hi
is it worth fitting a K&N filter induction kit or just the replacement filter that fits in the air box, or any other type of performance filter, I know I would get more go by leaving the spare wheel and tool kit at home and maybe losing half my beer belly, but maybe there are. other gains to be had. thinking of fitting one to my 2.2.
thanks for the feedback
Andy

Don't waste your hard earned money. Better off never keeping spark plugs beyond 20,000 miles and sticking some injector cleaner through the fuel system. :D

Neither. Unless you have any evidence to show that the engine can draw in more air than the filter can pass, you'll just be wasting money.

I have BMC air filter on mine - simply because it is what the BMW racing team use

This. On positive side your engine sound will improve on higher revs.
