K and N filter.

[Boycey16]

Thinking of buying a K an N filter for my clio 200, was wondering if they are easy to install?

Which one? The panel filers are a direct replacement. A cone filter requires a bit more work and things like a smaller battery (see the current group buy for a Varley red top).

Edit: should have said it takes a smaller battery to do it properly with an enclosed cone filter. If its not enclosed due to its location in the engine bay it can suffer badly from heat soak and all the negative things that brings.

i dont really rate K and N much these days, think you can get better bang for you buck

 

[Paddy_R]

ITG springs to mind.

What IGN would you reccomend, and is fitting a smaller battery a big job?

 

[Gez]

Just go direct replacement/panel filter.

I've got K&n, the quality is great.

 

[Boycey16]

It seems i will have to, i was hoping for a bit more induction noise though.

 

[IanRS200]

if you wanted a k&n I would do you a direct swap for mine if you want? I have a 57i

 

[Boycey16]

Do you have a smaller battery? could you post a picture of it fitted?

Do you have a smaller battery? could you post a picture of it fitted?

Yeah sure no problem, I'll take a picture tomorrow and no I don't have a smaller battery.

 

[Boycey16]

Okay awesome, any reason you want to get rid of your k&n?

I have k&n in My Clio.
There is no other difference except the car grumbles a bit more..

become a paid member £5 and have access to "how to" write ups and trader discounts

 

[Boycey16]

Is that when starting up or only in the higher rev range?

 

[Vladimir]

In high revs and especially on full throttle..
Example...2200 rpm, full throttle, it seems to me that flying from 2500 rpm and on is more soundly than with standard panel filter..

 

[IanRS200]

Yeah high revs maybe 6000+ it's loud like a sucking sound .. Does grumble a fair bit lower down too! I bought mine with the k&n on but would like to drive a standard one to see the difference

 

[Boycey16]

Sounds awesome, still need to find if they are easy to fit or require more work than you originally think :/!

Im running a k&n panel filter on my 197, have tried an itg induction filter sound is awesome but my god the flat spot at 2500 rpm is shocking!
