best sounding i/k for cup

[yeecup]

not talking about performance, just sound, k&n, green, k-techs, hill powers, piper x. want a nice roar from under the hood. used to have a k&n on my valver and it did sound really nice. didnt really notice anydrop in performance either.

bmc sounds like a concorde

 

[renaultsport83]

hey can i get a bmc for a 1.2 16v?

Hillpower IK is supposed to sound pretty sweet.... its a sort of half-open induction kit, and has a nice roar to it apparently......

 

[pete172]

for sound alone the k&n is the best.

the k&n is around 100 quid so for an extra 60 you may as well get a bmc cda.

the cda sounds the same as the k&n bus not quite as loud as it is enclosed.

i have had both, and would say the bmc over the k&n for the money if you are buying new.

[BIGDAVE]

Ive got 2 IKs for sale,ones for a MK1 172 and ones for a MK2 or Cup.The Mk1 one has been on car for 2 months and the MK2 one was on car fr a week.Im only seeling the filter and heatshield,not the Silicone intake pipe as im keeping this as i only have one of these.Dont really know how much im looking for it,make me an offer.

If you reply to this please do so in my ad in"for sale"cheers.

I had a Viper on my Cup, it sounded superb!

 

[03dynamique]

got a piperx, sounds really good

Take the pipe out on the right hand side of the airbox and just aim it at the aperture leaving a gap.

Nice quality roar (not over the top) shielded from engine heat by the airbox itself!!

I ran it like that for 20K (with panel filter) with no problems whatsoever. And if I may be so bold, I would say it increased higher end torque too.

ditto - massive change in sound, takes 30 secs, costs nowt

 

[viceroy]

Wonder if that would work on a mk1 172

 

[Smokey]

Viper all the way mate

 

[yeecup]

right ive ordered a itg replacement filter and im going to take the pipe out of the airbox like cupboy said above and see what is sounds like, i dont expect any power gains from the itg but its a compromise for the time being until cash allows maybe a properly developed maxogen kit. i will post when fitted (arrives tuesday)

[corsapower]

Isnt this exactly what i told you to do about 6 months ago?.......loser.

 

[yeecup]

does anyone know if the itg needs oiled before i put it in the box (ooeer misses) or does it come ready oiled or what.

 

[corsapower]

Why dont you get someone to draw you a diagram ?

Or you could just reed the packaging......

 

[yeecup]

i could get u to (reed) it for me, maybe not though.
