performance air filter replacements?

<< < (2/3) > >>

mkaminski100:
Guys in Poland checked K&N and standard filter on MAHA Dyno. Both installed in the same car (one after other) – tuned Skoda Octavia 1.9 TDI (ca 180 BHP).  Results? 2BHP less on K&N filter! I still have charts somewhere if you need a proof.
Standard Vx filter is the cheapest and most effective.

Any of the so called 'performance' (ie reusable) ones will do - and dont used the spray that they supply.

Changing to a cone is not recommended.
Some OOFers have induction kits fitted too.
Depends how much you want to spend I guess.

Problem is, this type of filter relies on the dirt retention additive to do the filtering as they have such a coarse filter medium. If you must fit such devices, use additive sparingly IMHO. My advice would be to stick with the standard filter though.

As others have said, for performance, stick to genuine GM part (and not a pattern equivilent - much smaller surface area).

If its noise, thats a different matter...
