dont have one myself but my mate does and he loves it. said he deffinatly noticed power increase on his car. but he did say that it was quieter than he expected, he was hoping for more head turning noise lol he said he thought it was quieter than the k&n's he had on other cars but was better. they do cost more money though [V]

The power increase is negligable on both filters but the throttle responce is better and the K&N definatly sounds better. Its just upto you Personally On a punto i would go K&N. ON a BMW / Saab etc i'd go BMC / HKS.

There is little difference between the filters but a CDA is something different completely. We sell and fit these little beuties and beleive me they work, otherwise I would have them.
Call Jon at PowerAlfa (its also Power Fiat!) on 01327 312645 and tell him Nige sent you for a CDA.

the BMC works very well on HGT but i agree for the outlay on a 60s its a lot
the BMC is a performance item so why people moan if it doesn't make loud noise ????
the price does vary poweralfa good but GSR very good to mk2 members get good discount to
