Mate, I run a K&N in my 2003 Peugeot 206 GTi. Standard style. Off the bat there was no throttle lag (previously I’d have to almost put my foot to the firewall, now I only need my big toe). HP there’s not much difference.
If you are handy buy a K&N air filter if you are keep your car >100000 miles and then you will need a recharging kit at some mileage intervals.
I just spend the $50 on a K&N filter for my cars. Another $20 gets you the kit for cleaning and re-oiling. $70 for a filter and years worth of filter clean/renew cycles.
A K&N cold air filter will not hurt , as long as you are committed to regularly cleaning & oiling the filter.
I also ordered a K&N drop in filter.
Upgrade to a K&N filter and a recharge kit. With a washable filter, you simply pop it out, clean it, let it dry and apply the oil... Pop it back in the vehicle... Good to go! Guess what? You SAVED money!!
In my passator, I had a KnN right on the maf, it felt awesome but when the engine gets hot, the hood thermo liner didn't let any heat escape, to the car felt like an 8v
the k&n filter does get dirty quite quick but as long as u dont neglect it your golden.
Air filter, I'd stay far far away from K&N, more flow = more dirt getting in and oil could mess up the MAF. Also, you are not going to gain anything.
K&N filters are a scam. Anyone who installs them is a sucker. Anyone who recommends them is a rube who doesn't understand how their vehicle works.
If you care about your car, DO NOT install one of this shitty products.
THEY DO NOT MAKE MORE PERFORMANCE ON A STOCK OR NEAR-STOCK VEHICLE.
THEY ALSO DO NOT FILTER WORTH A CRAP.
YOU WILL NOT HELP YOUR ENGINE AND YOU WILL CAUSE EXCESSIVE WEAR.
