Which Air Filter?

[eduk]

Just wondering which is the best air filter, not bothered about cost, want a good quality one that wont f**k me car up, car is 1.2 8v ls, would appreciate any suggestions:) an also is it worth the heat shield or what

[kie-1200sxi-shed]

the best thing to get is a air panel filter , direct replacement to standard one ( no faffing about taking box out ) can get either k&n,pipercross or greencotton (i use )

o yh i forgot you can replace panel filter that wont increase horse power the will it? also what air filter would ya reccomend n is it that hard taken box out

[plexo]

your running a 1.2 8v not even nos will increase the horse power lmao

panel filter with a better feeding pipe is the best way to go mate feeding pipe doesnt even have to be modded, just derestrict it atleast (read tutorials on forum)

panel filter is easy to take off, open bonnet look at air box (left hand side cant miss it look for a funnel coming out of it lol

should be 2 metal clips on the right of it i think, unclip them pull the top of it off the filter just comes out with ur hands and put new 1 in put top of it back on clip up an enjoy

"lmao" how old are you?

[plexo]

19 why, well technically im sure it will but im sure you wont notice it and on smaller engine bays like the corsa has the likes of a cone filter kills the engines power not increases it.

dont matter, ah ryt thats cool, any other suggestions anyone? want a panel and cone filter best money can buy

[plexo]

greencotton panel filter, de restrict airbox, make a bigger intake pipe

[eduk]

can u post pic where i should rill airholes as there aint one in the tutorial i seen some said they drilled theres and its sounds like an induction kit

[plexo]

dont have it done to mine mate so couldnt help ya, just look for where the panel goes and make sure its below the panel

if your wanting sounds get a good backbox and a straight through exhaust

yes a upgraded air panel filter will increase power, would be best to eighter de-restrict the box, or add a extra air feed through the bottom of the box. guide to de-restricting box below:

other things can do is:

upgraded exhaust system
upraded suspension
alloys pref 15'' avoid goin any higher
strut braces.

also if you dnt use your backseats you can gain abit more speed by taking out rear seats.
and avoid big ass sound systems.

but dnt expect to get your car to increase much as the engine you have isnt really the best.

ideally i need to see a picture as i dont have a clue where its saying to drill n how big whatever, please people read

Put the filter in the airbox and drill below where it rests. Look at it and it's obvious.
