Sports Air filter do they work?

[modulater]

wanna talk to me bout physics? go ahead - i've done a degree in physics. You lot are an advertisers dream - beleive all the hype!

The reason it adds to your insurance is coz the type of peeps to add it to their car are the kind who drive  faster (boy racers). This isn't my opinion its wat the insurance companies go by.

So your trying to tell us all that by increasing the breathing capabilities of an engine which in turn will increase the mixture with the air flow sensor will not make your car say 10% quicker than a standard car.?

Your gonna say that fitting uprated suspension which lowers a cars centre of gravity and gives it a lower pollar moment  of inertia dont work next.

 filters work a bit sound great aswell . exhuast not to sure make a nice noise but unless you change complete exhuast system you wont notice to much difference ............. un less ...................... you get the head ported and polished i know this works coz a friend of mine had a audi 80 sport did the exhuast and filter thing (made a bit of difference) then he done the head and the mid range torque was quite amazing !!!1

What you talking about mate, lowing a car just makes it look nicer

K&N 57i adds about 1bhp from what ive read... a pipercross viper adds about 5bhp or summet


a full exhaust system and a pipercross viper adds about 10-15bhp cos its breathing and farting better.

sorry... had to use basic human talk there.

I use K&Ns and they are not bad, never tried pipercross.

[Cupra Turbo]

Yeah the standard Pipercross is about the same as the 57i K&N, but this Viper thing has loadsa special ducting and crap...

costs about ?150 more than a 57i

Every1 seems to be getting quite highrate wiv this little subject, at the end of the day the reason so many people buy and rave bout inductions, an holes in ya box, is because it's alot more affordable than ?300- ?500 for a polished head or 2! an yeah it does make it sound louder more than faster, but if it sounds louder more people will see you in your very clean sexy more expensive than an faster than a saxo GOLF which is really why we buy a golf anyway aint it??

I have a pipercross and I really don't notice a diff. maybe 1bhp but def not more than that.

[golfvr6]

You would notice the difference on a vr6

Prob I've only got a mk2 8v.  I'd love a vr6 tho
