The filter will only produce a difference in 'induction sound'-for 'roaring sound' a free flow exhaust will have to be installed.

Binoy - Do these K&N air filters and free flow exhaust enhance both FE and performance.

Hard to tell about FE-there was a marginal improvement in mid-range performace when i used the stock replacement Green Filter for the old santro.

The tuning on the free flow exhaust is critical-performance gains maybe more apparent than FE gains.

My experience with motorcyle (Enfield/Bullet) says that free-flow exhaust will help performance & FE both - marginally but noticable.

1. Use K&N Performance Air Filters - guanranteed increase in horsepower. Check their Website for more details

2. Iridium Spark Plugs - for good combustion and pickup + mileage

3. Free Flow exhaust for more pick up - but this will decrease your mileage a lil less and PUC clearance. the drop in mileage shud be compensated by the Air Filter and Spark Plugs, but its expensive and needs ECU remapping. So leave it if your are not keen on Super Power. Just Stick to Performance Air Filter & Iridium Spark Plug. Next use a good 20W50 Grade Oil. I recommend Idemitsu Oils. Use Nulon engine additive to smoothen out the Engine walls and add Bharat Petroleums Iftex Petrol Additive. These 5 basic things such as Filter, Spark Plugs, Oil, Nulon & Additive will give you will give you power & balance your mileage. Using Tubless Radials on normal wheels or Alloys with Nitrogen gas can let you go 140 kmph + without any fear. Be sure to Buckle Up!! Put a small Air scoop in the bonnet to act as a Cold Air Intake to enhance Air Flow to the engine. I have tried this on my Bullet, My Dads Scorpio and my Wife's Alto and my Mom's Santro and my friends whatever they drive. Trust me.. Check AutoMech Engineers in Mumbai for Air Filters & Exhaust systems.
