Drive a 1.2 16V,

should i keep my K&n panel filter and airbox or replace it with this:

http://www.thepipercrossshop.co.uk/venom.asp

which i picked up for a tidey price the other day ?

I automatically thought stick the new one on, i know i wont really notice any gains in power seems its only a 1.2 but maybe increased noise?
anyone?

u may well get alot mre than that for it if its brand new / boxed nicely

but yea drill your airbox on the non engine side (left hand side as you look at it frm the front) below the filter line, de restrict it and your good to go xx

i THINK, lots of small holes gives a raspy sounds and larger ones give the deep down tone, check that though - some people, me, cut away whole chunks of side and bottom of airbox hahaha
