Air filter or air intake

[Seat-Ibiza-jake]

Hello,

I have a 2012 Seat Ibiza FR (1.2 TSI 105BHP)

what air intake can I buy for my car?

Thanks for your help!

Have you searched?

What are you after an induction kit or just a filter?

A very quick and simple search on eBay brought back all these:

I wouldn't bother unless its just for the sound. Save your money. Still if you do buy one please let us know what its like.

I heard a different filter was worth at least 20 horse power

You heard wrong then I'm afraid.

Agree with phey on that its give or take 2-5 tops on an induction/panel filter depending on engine size and turbo's etc so may make a small 3ish bhp difference but you wouldn't notice that might improve throttle response but some say that's a placebo effect should make a little bit of a throaty noise though . The forced induction from forge etc may make a bit more bhp but not a lot more really and I would only tend to get one of those if I was going remap.
I'd avoid K&N because it has an oily coating know it may not effect it but in my DS the MAF sensor has gone and that I feel down to the oily coating getting onto the sensor so I'll just go for green cotton filters or forced air inductions

But the bloke down the pub said a 6 inch tailpipe trim and a filter off Ebay was getting him 200bhp from his Saxo?

Sorry, I couldn't resist repeating the sort of nonsense you see on 'other' forums. But, the only car that's beaten me on the strip recently was a saxo, ( RWD mid-engined!)

if you add a sports air filter, you will just gain more noise plus maybe 1-2bhp, same with an induction kit, but you have to work out if its worth it, you will use more fuel too, unless you have a loud exhaust system id say its not worth it, sports air filters can make an exhaust louder but not on a standard exhaust system. plus depending on what air filter you buy, k&N have to be cleaned and re oiled plus some dont clean the air as well as standard filters.

i dont understand? i mean its not worth it on a 1.2 is it,

Loud exhaust systems arn't worth it either, loud doesn't equal fast, in fact most times it makes the car slower.

 

[jasoncourt]

oh i see, i mean sometimes, if you have a loud exhaust that sounds nice, you can get a nice burble with a sports airfilter, but im only talking experience from my gsxr750, so obviously correct me if im wrong lol, i think a sports airfilter on its own on a car sounds like its grunting lmao
