D8 1.8 K&N Filter

Post by descanso »

Hi,

I own a phase 1 1999 406 1.8i with about 70k on the clock.

There aren't any modifications, but I want install a K&N filter, even thou I'm not sure it's worth it. Well is it?

What are your recommendations. How much power will the car gain, and how will it change fuel consumption / economy.

Also, I am thinking of getting rind of catalyst converter. Any comments regarding that?

Thanks!

you will loose power and get poo fuel economy, all they doo is make a bwaaarp sort noise when you accelerate, as for removing the cat you will loose a lot of low down torque and also its illegal, if you get a roadside inspection by VOSA you will be in serious shite
