Induction kits

[Stueylouey21]

Hi all, just wondering is the ktr induction kit from ktec the best option?

It's a nice setup. But I'd save yourself some money and make your own one up using a 90 bend.

Anything else I feel just gives noise

worst option ime biggest piece of s**t going. but i like the noise.

Standard airbox etc as mentioned above

I made my own and tested them back to back on the dyno I dropped 2 hp with the stock air box with itg filter over my own k tec style kit so IMO its worth doing

 

[Fred@BTM]

a dyno isn't real world unless you drive around with your bonnet up and a 5ft industrial fan blowing air at your car?

If they're that good, why are people selling them so quickly after fitting them?

The noise!

I like it but as a daily it's too much IMO.

Only if u drive like a tool all the time

 

[Dan@M.A.D]

Only if u drive like a tool all the time

Or if you're above 50

not when doing 250mile + journeys on the motorway, smallest dab of throttle on mine and it done it but obviously at 5k it was at full roar

 

[mitch1503]

just kind of reminded me of seeing little chavs with a k&n job and hearing them booting it

This is true but its the best test I've got

 

[Addicted]

If you're doing 5k revs on the motorway, you're speeding.

not on about motorway with regards to revs but the slightest dab of throttle on mine and it growled

 

[Fred@BTM]

This is true but its the best test I've got

bonnet up = gain power
bonnet down = maybe not

 

[mi16chris]

bonnet up = gain power
bonnet down = maybe not

out of interest il try that next to Fred cheers for the advice

 

[Stueylouey21]

cheers for all the opinions.. My 172 cup is my daily driver so I'm getting the impression the noise would be to much.. Lol
performance panel filters worth trying? Or no point?

 

[MartinR]

Panel filters are ok due to being able to wash and re-oil them. But that is also false economy imo. Paper filter job done

Running a V6 box, and that is a nice relatively inexpensive way of having some extra noise. Doesn't look too out of place in the bay either.
