Sorry if this is a question that you've all answered a thousand times b4, but will a K & N air filter make much of a difference to the performance of me Si?

also, is it likely to change me insurance that much? (im with lloydstsb)

thanks

The answer to your question is no it wont make any difference what so ever, may increase response but not an awful lot. Also you have to take into account the warm air from your engine *may* decrease performance if you decide on such a peice of kit.

You would probs be better of drilling holes in your air box and replaceing the element with a K&N panel filter

oh wicked, thank u

[r_leeds]

yeah i agree! it won't make that much difference!

but it will give a better grunt from under the bonnet! (pipercross especially)

[Mr Jungle]

oh wicked, thank u

Enough holes at it will sound like a K&N too

[festasi]

take it you have a 1.6.......[ERRR] K&N dnt do a kit for the 1.4.......

My K&N 57i and Scorpion cat-back exhaust, have given me 6bhp - proven at interpro Noticable difference when i got the K&N - best mod ive done

thats not true
i had a induction kit on my si and with my magnex zorst (still had cat) i had an increase of 9bhp, that was found on the RR. dont drill ur airbox get a induction kit

Have to agree aswell, i got 5bhp from filter and zorst!! Picks up, much quicker, sounds much nicer that the drilled box!! If your that worried about engine heat, fit ducting, and or a heat shield.

i got a pipercross induction cone. Makes a nice sound but thats about it. Dont notice much difference in performance. £60 for a nice sound.........
