K&N 57i Gen 2 for 'R

[mclarenmatt]

Hello people,

Basically am I mad for considering a K&N 57i Gen to for my 'R?

I bought a Raceland Enclosed Induction Kit and there cack, I really cba to move my power steering bottle and make up some sort of bracket for it as it will mean having to move my aftermarket alarm all around :/

So im after one that will just go straight on with no messing about! Only thing is I need something that I can attach the Idle Vacum hose to.

At £201 though are these really worth it?!? I mean there not even that cheap second hand!

I have the crappy oval Saxo filter box on there atm, not the decent MK2 shape one (I haz MK2 car with MK1 engine y0).

Cheers,

Matthew.

*Btw If i ever get some progress actually going I *might* get a thread up*

never had one on a vtr....i think leeum has...

I do however have one on my vts and its great, seems to perform great and sounds awesome.

I previously had a green cotton enclosed induction kit i have seen a good improevement since changing.

I had a Gen 2 on my cammed VTR. Not sure if it made a difference or not, sounded pretty good though.

Wouldn't pay the £160 odd they are brand new though.

So probably worth it if I can find a good condition second hand one maybe?

It will be run along side a Raceland 4-2-1 Mani, Supersprint Centre Piper and Piper 3" Back Box.

No cams or anything like that.

I just see them for £160 new too, thats not so bad I suppose. Still quite alot though!

TBH though most people will tell you to use the standard airbox with an upgraded panel filter and a better cool air feed.

I just went for the gen 2 because various people say you get good results from them, they fit well i do like a little bit of induction noise.

Hmmm I have the oval airbox though which seems to be cack compared to the MK2 one plus I don't really see an easy way of a cold air feed on mine :Z

Ah well, I will see how much dollar I have over the coming weeks (can see over time being done haha).

Cheers for the help.
