What will be performance gain if I go for K&N performance filter??

Thanks so much for your inputs |
easier said than done,mate!! you can't get that sort of power from a diesel without a few mods. fitting a free flow exhaust/intake might have done the job for a petrol, but in case of a petrol, only the bhp increases, the torque pretty much remains the same; whereas if you do the said mods on your diesel, the torque will increase significantly alongwith the power too!!
if you go for a complete K&N kit, along with the manifold, you should see a raise in the output of about 5-10%, depending upon different factors.
but this increase won't be significant; that is, you won't be able to notice the difference in city driving-only when you rev the pants off the car on empty roads or highways, will you notice the enhancements. after the k&n mods, your F.E will increase slightly, under normal driving- and so will your top speed on the highway-you should see the northern hemisphere of 165 kmph+, if you can.
ovreall, the free flow filters will help in better engine breathing, and thus, will help in getting better overall efficiency from the engine.
