Hi all,
I know this has probably been posted elsewhere before but I just wanted to know if the K+N 57i induction kit from team torquesteer is any good??
Cheers

it's probably the best all round induction kit mate for the ST, there are a couple better ones i know of (more pricey of course) but the K&N offers you a little more throttle reponse and sound and for the price of it, its a decent upgrade to start with. Its definately a mod i would recommend to anyone

Brillaint thanks mate. Anything I need to do to the car or can i just "stick" it straight on?

fit it and take it for a quick spin the ecu will do the rest

Thanks mate, i know i sound like im a bit daft but better to ask than to risk it eh! haha cheers

its easy to fit if you know how, the actual st filter sits on top of the engine so once youve figured that out ur on ur away

I'm a big fan of the K&N 57i. It sounds great at around 3500 revs in particular and is also, in my opinion, better for the engine. The standard air filter sits on top of the engine and gets very warm with the rising heat, so as you can imagine, that warm air is getting sucked in. The K&N doesn't have this problem as it's constantly sucking in cool air from both the cold air feeds and excess air coming in from the front grill.

I replaced my K&N 57i only yesterday after about 4 months of use. When I initially installed it I placed the cold air feeds too close to the filter element and they caused a lot of wear on the outer mesh. I bought a completely new unit which I have made sure isn't making contact with anything within the engine compartment. An expensive mistake to make, but a lesson learnt!

use to have a KN filter on my ST and did like it alot! compared to the air filter I fit on the corsa JR filter! the KN is more loud than the JR for sure! as for quality think they were similar in my views!

Thanks for all the advice and notes think i'll be off to get one then haha cant wait.
