Performance Air Filter

[CheezyWedges]

Any like K&N aperformance air filter suitable for mirage?

I wouldn't bother. The filter itself is rarely the restriction in the intake. Read this article for more info.

tq for the link bro.. seem helps ..

It would be great if someone did that testing on their Mirage so we would know for sure though!

I would go further to say it's detrimental to your engine. Most "performance" filters free up airflow by being less efficient. That means more contaminants go into ur engine..

thanks for the highlight. any idea what can we improve the performance for this baby mirage?

since the topic is air, I was wondering if slightly restricting the amount of air that the maf reads would cause less fuel to be injected? maybe eeking out a couple more mpgs

Nope, the O2 sensor keeps air fuel ratios in check when an engine is in closed loop mode (which is by far most of the time).

I don't pretend to know anything about this but I'de like to learn. Aren't all sensors downstream of the MAF? If so why doesn't the MAF control to some degree the air fuel ratio? I mean what is the MAFs purpose? What would happen to the performance/engine if the air filter was impeeded alittle?
