Ok. Its almost 20 mins of your time, but you will realise that its ALL for the noise, and maybe a small reduction in power.

I'm only really doing for the noise, and the rumble/ burble which is unbelievable compared to stock.

However, would rather not be losing power!

NJ 1161 I applaud doing this solely for the noise and its effect even if it does not help the BHP, because that's a big factor for how it feels in the car.
Could you record the car noise from outside, preferably with car passing by with some help of your mate, since I would be going for it, if it makes considerable difference considering diesels are quiet and passers doesn't realize it's power, unless they hear it, if u know what I mean. thanks,

Will see what I can do over the weekend.

Had a go, but sound not great on the video at all. Will attempt some more when get a chance. Sounds louder with more rumble really.

Anyhow,

And it's now a k&n filter meant for a 4.2 Audi s5 v8 so power handling should be ok and neck size closer.

How long time did it take for you to install it ?

NJ 1161 · 11-26-2013, 03:25 AM

Hi, ten minutes. Just unclip the top box, remove filter and replace with this one.

If you wanted a cheap test I have the blue one available I originally fitted for £15 posted.

That way test it and see if you like.
