K&n or pipercross

[Kris6383]

Heard a few people say they had problems with k&n induction kits, so thinkin about getting a pipercross one eud like some opinions on This thanks

neither....Jetex

k&n is oiled, pipercross is foam. i wouldnt own either. dry gauze is maf friendly and filters good whilst giving gains

Don't buy foam filters... as they degrade the foam ends up in the turbo...

What are the gains? Do u still get a nice sound from the jetex?

+2.... even try a panel filter and smoothed box with cold feed.

Go Jetex mate, will still give u the noise u want and improved gains. When I had a k&n on my 1.8t golf I was forever having trouble

smoothed box, somebody please enlighten me.

smoothed box, somebody please enlighten me.

It's when you cut away/smooth the inner groves inside the airbox. More air should be able to flow better in the airbox.

another vote for the jetex, its like half the price of the others, and does give good gains! paired with a forge/badger5 TIP its a preety good mod to do!!

 

[DaveA3]

jetex also.

do k&n still come pre oiled? if not u could use that but would still get a jetex

Apexi filters are also very good but more expensive so Jetex would probably be the best all round filter.

 

[Kris6383]

Thanks all jetex is the way forward, I've now seen the light.

 

[Kris6383]

Do u get aloud psssssst noise off these forge oo7 dv?

I've been looking into getting one of those Apexi filters but they are not easily available in this country. I've noticed a few guys on Seatcupra.net run them and are very happy with them but not seen one on a A3/S3 yet.

 

[Jason.s]

yeah i had noticed a few on there had started using them. I came to Vag from the Jap world so knew about them anyway and had one on my Yaris.

They`re often on ebay but not sure if they`re the right neck size and so on. Most jap tuning sites will list them im sure.

Sorry to hijack but is smooth airbox best or cone filters? doesn´t the cone setup just end up taking in hot air.

Nah, you can do heat sheilding but its all quite far away from the really hot stuff id say.

Jetex jetex jetex (to the conga theme tune)

Someone, maybe Nattie, posted scanned copies of an article in redline (I think) and short of a metal gauze filter, which, doesnt do an awful lot of filtering Jetex beat the likes of k&N, Green Cotton etc. etc.
