I wanted to tell y'all my impression of the latest $220 mod for the plastic mistress.
I had the cut lid K&N. This came well packaged and fell onto the car in 15 minutes. It looks great, and comparing it to stock intake the opening is twice as tall going into the tube.
At idle there is a new high whining sound of air induction at the front. I think the exhaust note has a lower pitch, not so boatish (Corsa)
Let's ride! I gave it the full steam on an expressway entrance ramp next to a wall. The sound was like a turbo fan on a jet. A bit F-1. Really pronounced difference. Performance? I think it breathes easier at cruise based on throttle. The acceleration felt smoother, more even power on upper band.
Overall very happy as I doubted the seal on the previous filter mod, and it changed acceleration behaviour. Gotten less spending more.
