Ford Fiesta MK7 - K&N Panel Air Filter Sound Test

Just made a video to show you the sound differences between a stock air filter and a K&N Panel Air Filter for the new 2008 Ford Fiesta equipped with a 1.6 Ti-VCT 120hp petrol engine.

There is no difference when it comes to performance. It's worth getting for that extra growl :)

Part number: 33-2955

Any power gain though?? Are you still using the stock air feed or a K+n cold air feed with the panel?? It makes a huge difference. I was shocked when i put a full system on my focus!

@DannyMcCabe1991: now i'm on the k&n 57i kit.. to be honest i can't feel a difference in power.. will be installing a full milltek exhaust system in about 2-3 months, then we'll see

Why did you buy such a car?

[LoveGod16]

@MightyMsc: because it's the best car in it's class :) currently being the bestseller in Europe for 2011. I have an eye for quality sir! :)

@LoveGod16 1:0 :(

@DannyMcCabe1991 Don't confuse NOISE with POWER, NOISE=RESTRICTION. K&N has tiny surface area compared to a correct paper filter, so the holes have to be 13+ times bigger to allow the same amount of air through. Paper filters, K&N doesn't as the holes are huge. The oil broke my MAF sensor and unfiltered air caused pitting & wear on my turbo. On a rolling road, a paper filter provides more BHP.K&N blocks up faster & decreases performance, a paper one is oversized, filters & takes ages to block.

Tel me the website

[SnipeMeNot]

@TheFUEL6303 yes they should have some, go to their website and look for your car model. the filter itself should be better than any other stock brands

Hey bro nice sound.

I hv fited k&n in my bike which is giving a furious roar lyk lion.

Bt is this also compatible with cars also?

After watchng urs am inspired to instal it in my toyota prado & bmw 530di.

Is it possible???

Pls rply me..

I hv scorpio,safari,pajero,CRV & fortuner also.

Tell me in which one it ll give the best performance.??

[Andrew3451987]

Have to agree... Mine is 11 months old, and I really like how it feels for the price... Great car so far ! :D

[DannyMcCabe1991]

plus it looks quite hot where you are induction systems work a lot better in colder temperatures:)

[DannyMcCabe1991]

you should have a gain in power as cold air is being foced into the throttle. No doubt you will have significant gain in power with a full milltek exhaust system they are brill and sound fantastic!!!!! How much would that set you back mate???
