Considering upgrading Air Filter
Hi All
Now my ZT has easily passed another mot, I'm planning a good service. I'm thinking about changing the standard air filter to either a pipercross or K&N, or even a cone filter. Also thinking about upgrading the plugs to iridium. Do these actually make a difference or is it just hype (and noise)? Which is preferred option? Any advice is appreciated Last edited by Redmaestro; 8th August 2021 at 20:55.. |

the cone filter will add about 20 decibels to engine noise and on throttle lift off scare small children and old ladies .

As I said Gary, I do have a heat shield fitted, and the filter sits above the cold air feed from the shannon tube Anyway, it's not like I race about

I have a K&N in the standard airbox on the V6, I think that's a nice compromise.
