I am thinking of replacing my air filter with air cone filter. Looking on ebay, I have found several with the 3 inches neck diameter which are washable and are claimed to increase horse power by around 5-10. Does this mean I would get more mileage for my fuel consumption? Also as I have 1.6L injection Vitara, should I buy any particular make or better still which make is more durable or suitable? Thanks in advance for your responces. Danny
you may notice a small (very small) increase in mileage. but due to the new gustier sound you will probably gun the accelerator a bit more to hear that somewhat cool new sound. be careful how you mount it to avoid water being sucked in. i took mine off . i am probably older than you and i now prefer a super quiet ride. i now find ways to lower road noise. but.... it does sound cool on hard acceleration. any 3" cone filter will work.
