Induction K&N 57i Induction Kit...opinions needed

dablink · 3rd February 2012, 16:05

Hello all,

I am considering getting the K&N 57i Induction Kit for my 1.8 SE honda civic (2009 model). For those that have fitted this kit or anyone else that has an idea about these kits, I would like your opinions please.

Questions:

1. Should I get the K&N 57i Induction Kit?
2. Could it damage my engine if I fix it?
3. Is it worth it?

Thanks all
M

1. Yes. Also consider the AEM if you can afford it.

2. No!

3. Yes, definitely!

A great bit of kit and one of the only things that will make a difference to the performance of the R18 engine.

I agree. Don't think about it just buy it.

"I be at the lights then as it goes green I'll be...BOOM GONE" Legend.

Your eco will be even worse after hearing how much better the car sounds as it gets to around 3000rpm.
