I bought a universal air filter with a couple of silicone pipes and made my own for about £35. What a noise. No increase in performance of course but the engine sounds a LOT more like the thing..

These cone filters are all noise and no action. The more noise, more fuel.
MGR got it right in the design of the 190 airbox, why not fit the best reusable filter on the market. They claim extra power, improved MPG which is perhaps pie in the sky, but a company that has been manufacturing for donkeys yesrs, there may be a bit of truth. |

I've made my own system up like a lot of folk have done but I've used a 90º alloy tube rather than a rubber connection and an AEM filter I had in my garage from my Honda days gone by
K&N are excellent BUT they are also oiled filters... Not great when it comes to your MAF so I'd highly recommend using a non-oiled K&N filter (can be found easy enough) or something along the likes of the Pipercross or ITG filters (this is the same with panel filters also) I'm not ***** re fuel economy as I do 2-3k miles a year and also have an E60 M5 that even over the warmer months, I'm lucky to get about 15MPG out of it when driving it 'as it should be driven' Plus I love the sound the V6 makes when it's pushed; the AEM cone filter releases such a nice growl it really does turn heads...! Can't wait to get a decent stainless system made too! |
