Air filter

[KOAD]

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?

K&N makes a nice low restrictive air filter. fairly cheap too!

I\'ll take a look!

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

mostly higher air flow, im not too sure about fuel economy though
