People used to tell me how better the K&N drop in filters are compared to the stock filters we have on our cars , now i know this is a subject that starts debates when speaking about cars in stock conditions .
over the past 3 years ive made a number of upgrades to my Vehicle which include an Ecu Remap that took me all the way up from 165Hp 340Nm to 220Hp 460Nm and Custom bigger aluminum intercooler pipes with a custom Intercooler made entirely of aluminum , and finally a Drop in K&N filter i got from Ebay ..
these mods improved my Vehicles 0-190 acceleration times by 20 Seconds which is awesome , needless to mention the improvement in responsivness and the elemination of lags but heres the Catch back in stock condition my Vehicle managed a top speed of 193Kmh (5 Years ago ) and now with all those mentioned upgrades my Top speed stands at 190Kmh , not only did it not improve it actually dropped ..
Im still unable to explain this , when it comes to the condition of the engine and other components all should be in great condition (assumed because my acceleration times are better than similar vehicles with similar Mods) and the only weight i added to it was a 6Kg belly armor and if you must know i gained 10Kgs since then haha , the front of the car is even lower than it used to due to worn out Springs (no change was made to Rims or tyre size) ..
i can only suspect the K&N filter due to what people say about them , its either that or the Intake isnt balanced with the Emissions system and ill need a bigger downpipe with a bigger exhaust line ..
what do you guys think ? any ideas ?
