easy to fit?

and will it void my insurance?

how do they sound? and any performance increase *snigger @ 1150cc*

 

[Tom]

Yep

No (unless you dont tell them)

Louder, may do 0.0000001bhp

1149cc.

so you wouldnt reccomend putting one on and not saying anything to the insurance people? (free insurance)

is the sound difference noticeable?

mate, i have had a jetex panel filter in mine since it was about 2 months old. I also have a revised air-feed to it. The filter is TINY and cost about £35. i am now running the standard air filter and standard air feed as the car is due for its service, and its slow as sh*te with the standard kit, throttle response is crap (have to put the pedal down further) If you want to keep it simple, and away from engine heat, id go for it! after all, its what i am running!

Go 4 a pipercross with a K-tec relocation pipe, much better.

cheers R3OBC and black fox, im gonna go for the panel filter and DIY air feed job, maybe the ktec relocation one.

may i ask both of you... do ytou notice a difference in performance / sound?

(lol at reflection in headlight, i find it so funny as i am pissed now)

 

[R3OBC]

like i say, i have the standard air filter in at moment with standard feed and its sh*te! so a panel filter does make a difference, especially on the motorway when u have loads of air going through the uprated feed pipe!

U cant use the K-tec relocation pipe with a standard airbox!

 

[Road_Shagger]

oh well, panel and DIY tubing it is

ive thought long n hard about an induction kit, but, from what most people say, and the way the car is, they aint really all that loud, and the thought of all that hot air puts me off, hence why i am still ruinning my panel filter. as for going 60mm instead of 40mm............hmmmmmm lol
