K&N 57-7000 Induction Kit?

[Gavlar]

Has anyone got a K&N induction kit on their 996 (naturally aspirated 3.4)
Spec suggests an increase of 23bhp (http://www.knfilters.com/search/product ... od=57-7000),

is this ;

1. believable
2. worth £300

Seems like a good way to bolt on some power. The car already has eurocup
headers and silencers but IMHO seems to have made no noticable difference
but to engine note. I am a little worried that the induction kit may result in a
similar way, all mouth and no trousers.

Look forward to some advice.

Hi

Not got a 996 but have used K&Ns on all my cars for years...

I like K&N ...but the accepted opinion generally is that YES they will filter better and MAYBE add a COUPLE of horsepower and usually give a much better sound...

But thats it, 23 hp... I seriously doubt that....and £300 seems a little over the top....but your choice if it looks good and improves the sound then fine....then buy it, but if you are thinking 23 hp dont buy it

All the best Brett
