I've got one on and to be honest, it doesn't sound any noisier than standard. Luckily.

Just saves a little on buying standard filters, IF you're keeping the vehicle long term.
A little filter cleaner and filter oil, job done.
As far as an increase in performance, did you say you were fitting it in your Veyron or Jimny? :laugh:
Jim isn't powerful enough for you to notice any gains.

BUT, I wouldn't fit one to my Merc as I want to keep that long term and MAS's are expensive. LoL!

They aint too expensive,found them for £26 delivered on flea-bay but if they do absolutely nothing to improve anything I may not bother.

Let's see.

I fitted one and have found it has improved performance. It hasnt made it a sports car or anything but the engine breathes better. There is no discernible difference in noise as you are using the stock air box. If you want to fit one then do it :) it can't do any harm.

Anyone considering fitting a K & N Filter should check out this site first... www.bobistheoilguy.com/airfilter/airtest1.htm and if you already have one of those filters, toss it out and spend the money on a quality paper filter.

:sick:
