QUOTE(lowpro @ Feb 10 2014, 10:31 AM) just a bit of feedback on the drop in filters, from my experience using the k&n, it works for a few km. no denying it. the car will launch like a bullet (i'm exaggerating a bit here) but then, the car's ecu will pick up 'abnormal' airflow after those few fun kilometres and compensate to parameters earlier set by the car's engineers. so, the performance will somewhat revert to normal. you probably need to 'fool' the ecu to allow for a higher air/fuel ratio to get more performance out of the new performance filter. i tried it out in the 206 and 207 and if these old engines can suss out the increased airflow, the newer ecu would probably be able to do so as well. unless, the ecu tells the car otherwise. but then, it could encroach into warranty matters. anyway, just my feedback and something to think about. always good to have someone try it out and report. just make sure it is not a placebo effect  Anyone else has a second opinion on this??? Especially the warranty part. The drop in just a plug & play item. Will it really void the warranty?? Shouldnt it make the car run smoother and better since im giving it a better breathing filter?? Actually i plan to buy a new drop in and keep the old one. So when time to go service i replace back the old one myself. Hahahahhahah. Thank you very much.

To be honest on the FC, 408T made me to avoid traffic jams as much as I could, but how could I fight the world with my own tiny strength?  Think about this, I take LDP-Federal Hw to work every morning and no flexi time. Means I got to be there before 9am. My FC are always at 11l/100km. There are times it climbs up to 12l or 13l per 100km. I am used to the number already. Nothing much I can do to the traffic than asking the car in front to move in my heart

Thank you very much. filter won't kacau your warranty. it is tampering with the ecu that will void it. but then, if you do a huge open pod one, they can void it as well.

Just to relate an experience, Delkor battery died during CNY holiday second day. Peugeot care line quoted almost RM600 for replacement inclusive RM95 for labour!
Century battery did it at RM290

What uhp? Nexen is korean made right? My friend's Cerato comes with Nexen tyre, however feedback from Cerato club, many owners claim this tyre punctured with no reason. Many of them change the ori tyre to other brand.
