A160 - K&N kit

Has anyone ever fitted a K&N kit to their A160.

If so, is there any performance increase.

Thanks

RE: A160 - K&N kit

Ummm The Cold Air Kit For The Car By Itself Doesn't Do Much... Since The Stock Air Kit Is Sufficient... However, If You Have Fitted Other Engine Upgrades Like An ECU Mod Chip Then I Would Suggest It...

At First I Added The K&N And Had No Noticeable Change To The Car... But Then I Changed The ECU And Replaced The Stock Kit And There Was A Marked Improvement... Then I Fitted The K&N BAck On to See If There Was A Difference And I Could Say There Was A Marked Improvement...

But If You Plan On Just Making The K&N Mod Then I Suggest You Save Your Money... Go For An ECU Chip Upgrade First Then The K&N...

Thanks for the help. I'll have a look into changing the ECU.
