but the simple filter change is only bout £50 quite a bit of difference . i think i might save up for the carbon fibre long arm one, but im in no rush to get it as of yet xD

OK, OK, I fitted it without guide . Hmm...and feelings? Better gaspedal response, in higher rotates better sound and maybe better willingness to accelerate, almost from 3000rpm higher. |

hi, I'm Xavi from Barcelona, Spain, and I've found this forum looking around the internet. I really haven't got a Mazda 2, but my girlfriend has one, I am looking for something not to much expensive to win some power, because she can't follow me There's not much info around about the mazda 2, and all I can find is in japanese. I supose that with the K&N filter you might improve the performance of the car at high revs, but how much can you gain with this air filter? 2-3hp? Is it worth it? Do you know any chiptuner to dopate the mazda 2? Thanks. I hope you can understand my english! Bye! |

From my experience, the K&N filter panel gave little performance gain if any.

I thought that there could be some improvement, but I supose it's only noise... I also supose the fuel consume has increased, has it?
I already knew that on TurboDiesel engines there's no improvement.

So, after about 10.000 km with K&N Air filter I can say:
1) no noise increasing
2) the power was increased very little, I think in about 3.500 rpm it has little bit bigger "push off"
3) fuel consumption goes down about 0.2 litres/100 km
So, I'm very satisfied with it.
