Thinking of fitting one myself. If you've got one - what did you get? Was it easy to fit? Was it worth it?

[Mark Si]

I got a K&N 57i, from Jay @ X-Factor as it happens (plug )

Bit of a pain to fit but then I had minimal tools and ended up borrowing them off Bridger (Cheers mate ) plus it was in the middle of the hot sunny day that was Trax2002, so I guess it was worse than it should have been.

Sounds a bit nicer and seems to pick up a bit better, but generally you won't notice a huge difference.

I'm not saying don't get one, just don't expect miracles

[chumkila]

should i get one Mark?

[Andy Si]

Stick with a panel.

Im currently running a k&n but am gonna revert back.

(ps Mark there piss easy to fit )

[Mark Si]

I'm just a useless mechanic Andy


Chum you may aswell give it a go, if you don't like it just flog it on. It's the same fitment for 1.6 Si's, RS1800s, XR2i 16vs and tooleater zetecs (notice a trend here )

[chumkila]

mmmmmmmm i'll see how much i can pick one up for. Altho i do know that the std panel filters are pretty decent and not that restrictive. but i guess i'll get a better sound.

u sure its teh same for the 2.0? as the MAF is larger, i had big troubles connecting it on!

[Fiestasi-Andy]

Trouble seemed to started when i put my Piper X on, now my maf sensor when connected makes the engine nearly cut and as for driving when its pluged in FCUK that chug chug will not go anywere.

now i cant get my car chipped etc cos a powerchip place near me cant link it to their gear cos they cant tell how much air is getting in

if naybody can help me please do
