sos mate but thats crap, its completly different for every car why have i gained more mid range pull then? you cant just come out of nowhere and say every cone filter known to man actualy looses the car power lol you just cant lol,

Donny Lad - the thing is power and torque are very different things mate...

The induction kit probably wont even hit 1.8 bhp tbh mate. the throttle will probably feel more responsive mind and it will make a nice roar on acceleration though

haha, @donny, just because you have gained more mid range pull doesnt mean all cone filters are great, are you telling me you have gained 18 bhp? lol

The rolling road I use has proved to me that one of best and cheap inductiuon kit is the K57i.

Just like the one below:

er i dont think that is what donny lad is saying just not all cone filters "lose" power, its okay you all saying this and that but the only way you will prove or disprove is if you put your car on a rolling road.

[donny lad]

lol all il say is j's dyno doesnt lie mate so no need to say anything else realy is there lol

 

[Roberto]

All very well DL, but J didn't say what his dyno showed as gains !

He might have tested a few and found that all of them are sh1te but the K&N gave 1bhp, therefore being the "best"
