Hell all,
I own a second hand optra magnum 2.0 LT diesel 2011 model. I bought it in 2015 with 48K Kms on odo. Now, the car has clocked 100K, and running on Code6 remap for the past one year with BMC stock replacement filters for couple of years now.
The BMC stock replacement filter seems clogged no matter how many times I clean it or oil it. It makes the car sluggish and makes noise past 120 as if the car is struggling. At the same time, when I put a cheap stock replacement paper filter from Altech brand, it spits more smoke but there's no noise and pulls upto 200kmph much conveniently and quickly. So, I decided to try a K&N conical filter ( 1001-RD) this time.
Can someone please guide me on what should I do to extract full performance of this filter and what should I expect post installation? I am planning to install it in the current air filter box, but I read about SRI and then CAI and of late about AIR which I am not really sure an alternate name for SRI.
Should I just be fine with installing the filter in the current air filter box or should get a customer made piping, shield for better output? Thank you for the help!
Best,
Amjath
