I have a stock 1972 1.7L little porsche. It has the oil bath air filtration on it. The oil bath seems to me like it would rob the engine of air. Since i live in colorado i was thinking the more air the better. I found a k&n filter kit on the 9xauto.com that will fit a 1.7L engine. My question to you guys is it worth it?? Will it help my engine?? i need a new air filter boot anyway because mine is cracked.
Thanks I know this picture is not a 1.7L but they said it will work Attached image(s)

Don't forget that these are the same guys that sell the aluminum fuel rails that are supposed to give you more power. They don't seem to know much about what actually enhances performance and why, but they have copy writers that would make QVC proud. I keep wondering if it's an offshoot of AA.
This system might actually work quite well, but based on their claims for other merchandise don't expect anything close to the improvements that they claim. |
