-> How serious is K&N filter on i10's performance. I havent seen much people who use K&N air filter on i10 and this is the reason I raise this question to an expert like you. More over if possible can you please highlight the power & mileage gain in case of K&N on an i10?

Using K&N stock performance filters on any car is said to provide slightly marginal increase in FE and a smoother pick-up. And why not start a new thread regarding the same? You will get more replies and suggestions.

By using the k&n you get a extra 4 to 6 bhp extra. that is at high rpm. say 5500 rpm .

Are you gonna drive at 5500+ rpm always!
Only in one and 2 gear you may go to that extent!

Thanks Ilango. I would also like to know if the K&N would be good for the engine as it intakes enriched air. I was quoted 6k for the K&N for i10, can you please tell me if it is worth 6k?

Which car do you own ? Power gain with performance filters is say around 5 - 6 hp (un noticeable) that too with proper length,diameter Pipes.Even the position matters.
5-6 bhp??
Toooooooo much IMO. an i10 barely makes 80bhp. a k&n WILL NOT give u any substantial gains in power or performance.use that 6k on other things if u really need power.

I use Green Cotton Wind cold air intake in my swift VDi. I only noticed one big improvement, NO turbo lag at 2k rpm. The car runs smooth now & all the jerks in the shifts have disappeared. Cant say about the BHP increase, but the car surely pulls easily now.[clap]
