Induction kits. BMC CDA or KTR style?

[Josh Youare]

Hey, I've don't a few searches but I was wondering what othe people would do in my case.

i have a BMC CDA already. It's a big one I had on my saxo, not the shorter one desiged for clios.
Because of the size, it would be a pain to fit but I think it's do-able.

I also have a foam style air filter lying around along with a elbow. I'd probably need a bigger elbow to fit it like the ktec kits.

Should I fit the BMC (i dont know what people think of these) and scuff a few nuckles, or get another elbow and fit a ktec style kit?

not to fussed about super loud induction roars, I'm just a bit bored of the standard one.

I like my ktec one if thats any help

I had a bmc on my 172 with samco elbow, didn't really rate it an there was a rise in inlet temps. Also the car felt a bit flat tbh, proffered running standard airbox with k'n panel filter an car felt better too

I'd go Ktec tbh, the filters is nicely located an seems to be getting good results!

Foamy filter (needs a clean!), A Apro paper filter, a Hammer (probably not a good filter but its handy for scale), BMC, and LOL filter

I think this is probably what I'll go with since you don't rate the BMC.
It's a shame though. Carbon fiber and all

I swapped my standard air box for a carbon simota with a Samco hose came up at the right price so got it sounds great and feels slightly more responsive

There's a sticky on air filters in the engine section. From reading that whilst testing those kits there were minimal gains an a few cons when compared with to the standard airbox, shows how well the standard box does for the car in standard trim. But the Ktec one an a few similar homemade efforts seen to be doing well.

Got the elbow and viper filter from member of this forum for a bargain £40, and got blue tubing from e bay for less than a tenner much more responsive
