Just wondering on what induction kit you lot prefer, I want a K&N but a few people have said to go in the pipercross direction, So what do you have? How does it perform? What would you reccommend to me. Cheers in advance, Paul. |

its all Psychological. Because you have put it on your tricking yourself into thinking that the cars actually better. Tested this on my mate. Said we'd put on the K&N, and let him take it for a drive and he said it was much quicker, truth was we hadnt even opened the bonnet 
The real gain is around 1HP i reckon, but its just something we all do. |

Well they do make a difference, revs stay up during gear changes and does give it a better throttle response.. Don't know why anyone would buy a pipercross 'induction kit' you don't even get an induction hose.. It's an air filter..

Always nice to have free flowing air.. and all that space the O.E filter takes up can be used for.. another battery? an air horn? a fridge?.. |

now i have a pipercross and the chip in the car it is much better. Revs dont drop as much when you change gear, and pulls harder in all gears when you accelerate. |

i got a K&N on my 1.6 Si purely for the deep rumbly sound it makes with the scorpion cat-back  they do seem louder then the pipercross and ther is more throttle response, but if ur big into tuning,you dont stop at an air filter

Got a K&N sounds nice, don't think it does much else though
Did have a Cossie Ramair on my old Car, that made it sound amazing for a Ka
