K&N Panel Filter

[pmoss]

Has anybody had any experience of using the K&N panel filter in the 1.6 16v 115bhp Megane II?

Looking to get one and was just wondering if anybody had any experiences to pass on, positive or negative.

thanks,
Pete

whats this - K&N panel filter?

I prefer to stay away from K&N due to quality of product and actual "performance gains".
I've only ever used BMC.

Rollo - it's a replacement performance air filter.

I have this K&N-panel filter in mine.....no big difference.

well, the filter turned up in the post the other day and I fitted it yesterday afternoon. I have to say I am VERY impressed with the simplicity of the design to get into it, took about 3 minutes from start to finish (compared to my old Mk6 Fiesta which required removing/dismantaling the engine cover to get at the filter!

Not had much chance to drive the car yet - will post a report in a couple of weeks, not expecting much mind!

well, as promised - an update on the filter!

Much as expected really (and others have commented) - a nicer noise (especially when you nail it!), maybe a tiny bit smoother (although its a bit like the difference between using regular or super unleaded, I can tell the difference because I drive it all the time but the missus can not tell!).

Worth it for a small outlay I guess, and it should prove cost effective over time due to removing the need to paper jobs each time.
