Title: Air filter
Post by: KOAD on July 06, 2004, 09:27:07 PM
My 1st gen currently has the stock air intake and filter on it.

I have read some where that you can get a different filter that will increase power and fuel efficiency. Is this right. Surely if you put a lower restricting air flow then the car will burn more fuel.

Or am I being thick?

If so any advice on what to fit and should I inform my insurance company if I do so?

I\'ll take a look!

What are the benefits ? Apart from the increased bhp does it help with fuel econ?
