I wonder how noisy it will be.I used to have a K&N filter on a car when I was 18 and the induction noise was pretty high.
Take note that this replacement filter is also suitable for your 1.6 & 2.0 litre petrol i30....
1. a Panel filter to replacer inside the airbox of most vehicles. These are NOT designed to generate more power (and often make you LOSE some), they're dsigned for MUCH better filtration. and they do this EXCEEDINGLY well.2. a 'Filter Kit' which usually comes with a mount and some piping, like a cone\exposed\pod filter. These are their range that generate performance, simply because (lets make up some numbers for ease of explaination), a pod filter is 150% the performance of a stock airbox, and the stronger filtering robs 25% of that better flow.

K&N’s replacement air filters are designed to increase horsepower and acceleration while providing excellent filtration. We make over 1,200 different replacement air filters for virtually every vehicle on the road. These filters are washable and reusable and are custom designed to fit into your existing factory air box. Their drop-in design means adding performance is simple. With most vehicles you simply remove the disposable air filter and replace it with a K&N.
I've K&N filters in all my cars the last 10 yrs, wife has one in her i30, for the last 2 yrs, main advantage is you can wash them, i do hers every 5000, due to the i30 having a otr {over the radiator air intake}, if not washed often you will notice more fuel usauge, they are not noisy & cant say i've noticed any perfromance gain. Mine cost me $100.Cheers Bloodnut
Thank you for your interest in K&N products.Unfortunately the 57-0683 does not fit your i30 1.6 diesel. It only fits the petrol versions. Only option we have for the i30 1.6 diesel is the replacement filter." (33-2380 )
Can I throw a spanner in the works.When I read the warranty T&C's it states genuine HY parts have to used otherwise it will invalidate the warranty.So are K & N approved by HY as genuine HY parts?

Yeah, but they're doing a nice little trick, they're measuring filter materials only. So a layer of their filter vs a layer of factory. Yeah, they'll win.
