Kian mk7 Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Anyone with a fiesta mk7 know if i can remove the standard manufactured air filter and just put in an aftermarket filter plainly for the noise difference or would it need a full induction kit?

ThaiFiesta Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 You can replace it with a suitable panel filter. K&N have a catalogue with suitable model numbers. I then purchased mine from eBay. Noise difference isn’t great though, due to the closed airbox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LesPes Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 I went back to a standard airbox with standard filter from a mountune box with k&n on my 7.5. For me the standard set up is better, as i have the bluefin i found the k&n just wasnt up for the job and the standard filter handles it so much better in the top end. The only thing i kept on was Airtec primary and secondary hoses which do give a throatier noise when planting the foot. The thing i notice now is at 80-100mph, on a private road of course, i have a vibration that you can feel through the steering probably unrelated but just something i noticed from a 500 mile round trip i have just done. I have messed around with my car all year and what i have found with the mk7.5 fez is they are very finnicky when it comes to the intake system. It certainly isn't a one works for all thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn hastie Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Yes you can fit either. I have a K&N panel filter fitted to my 2012 mk7 it's just a straight replacement for the standard type filters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
