Clio 1.2 2003 k&n soup ins any good?

[alexwinter123321]

I'm about to buy of of these for my 2003 1.2

http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/291282861672?_mwBanner=1

What's your opinions and what's it sound like

 

[LeeRS]

to be honest, I have no idea.
although, if it was me I wouldn't be spending that much on one.
not sure if the fattys induction setup works on a 1.2?
If it does, go fo that instead at £30.

 

[alexwinter123321]

Anyone else? I just want to know what the sound difference is , people say its goood and some say it's not so good , if it's decent I'll order it

Why don't you just save that money for something worthwhile, Like an actual quick Clio instead of wasting money of making your 1.2 sound like every other chavs Clio?

 

[LeeRS]

don't know anyone on here who runs one.
some will probably say its good, others will say its bad. So your still in the same situation.

 

[alexwinter123321]

Because I want it to have a little growl and why not do up my first car , it's nippy for a 1.2 lol

My 1.2 sounds better with a cone filter but it's a 16v and I've done some injection tuning as its my practice model. Can't say it will sound a dream but it will sound better than the usual flat high sounds you're probably used to.

Don't spend over £40 on it. Not worth it imo

 

[alexwinter123321]

I just want to know the sound difference , ive seem videos and they sound pretty nice , even if it is a 'chav' sound , it's better than the standard box and ive had all my engine bay dipped in sticker Bomb etc so a k&n would finish it off really

 

[Dom_capper]

It will give it a deeper throaty sound yes, and droan on the motorway, but it sounds much less chavy than a 2.5" exhaust

In what way, making it look entirely s**t??

Each to their own and that, but come on, you'll look like a right pillock if show off that engine bay.

 

[alexwinter123321]

Well it's just part of a business project something to show my mates what I work as and do? If you get me...

 

[alexwinter123321]

And that's all im after , nice sound when I'm giving it some , but nothing when I'm driving normal

 

[LeeRS]

pic of engine bay?

 

[Typhoon]

Let the guy crack on with how he wants to do it and stop with the criticism.

I can't say I ever had drone on the motorway with mine. Yes, if you were flat out trying to do 110mph everywhere, but sat at 70mph it was no louder than standard. That's the beauty of induction noise - you control it completely. A noisy exhaust is always noisy to some extent but a K&N is only noisy when you floor it. Agreed on sounding far less chavvy than an exhaust too.

This was mine;


That was a K&N 57i too, but mine looked different to the one in the link - mine was an 8v engine.

I'd say it was one of the better mods I did to my 1.2. It was never going to be a fast or particularly good sounding car, but it made it more fun when you were flogging it.

Would it be better if he did every thing exactly the same way as everyone else? Maybe he should just get some white rattle cans and do a sheep paint job?

 

[ADS_V6]

its your car do what you want,we all had to start somewhere enjoy what you have and put the kn filter on,would be boring if we all had the same things etc

 

[LeeRS]

do you have a pic of the engine bay with it being dipped? Genuinely want to see it as to what it looks like.

 

[alexwinter123321]

I'll get one , things just drying done engine cover in blue sticker Bomb and fuse box in a new sticker Bomb , looks mint. Pipercross on it atm , but pile of **** so changing it

 

[Dom_capper]

If the piper cross is a cone filter the sound shouldn't be too different, if it's a panel, the K&N will make you smile.

 

[alexwinter123321]

Just a piperx induction kit , looks the tits but no cold air pipe with it , and it sounds boring
