A bit more noise but not much in the way of speed. They tend to do damage to the MAF alot of the time

Tbh I'm not bothered too much about speed as its my first car and it's only a 1.2 so I'd rather
Keep it economical cos it's never goin to be fast with a 1.2 thik I'll just leave it cheers lads

are you on about a cone one or panel filter pal... there's no real gain... just psychological if any

i put a panel one on the sport recently and cant even say i heard much difference let alone felt it....

on the plus side they dont need replaced like the paper ones do, just need cleaned

is it an 8v or 16v? I have one for sale that came off my old car, K&N 57i induction filter with all necessary attachments. Not listed it yet as I was going to put everything up this weekend but I'd let it go for £15

fine, slightest bit louder but not offensively loud and I didn't notice any impact on either performance or fuel consumption and if there were, it would have been fractionally small
