Hi all,

Next up I think a K&N,

Yes, I nearly went totally mad and put a massive round one on but I decided that this one looks cool.

Is your Powerflow very noisy ?

Shame, the logo does work very well, I have another for the other side but I haven't put it on yet

My Powerflow got steadily louder over a period of about 3 weeks. Must be something to do with burning in and depositing carbon in the pipe. At least that was what the Powerflow guy said.

same with me ive got a janspeed exhaust and it took a few week to kick in

Great, I'll look forward to that.

It sounds good now but if it gets deeper, yipppppeeeeeee

No its a gorgeous hmmmm...... noise. I asked for a quiet ish one. A bit more tuned than the original but not window-rattling and i think its great.

The power increases a lot too dont you think? I got used to it now: I wish I had that feeling when you first get in it again and put your foot down

The guy at powerflow said with such a small engine if you go for noisy it doesnt sound nice, it sounds knackered. Its better to go for a quality, quieter noise than a loud, raucous one.

I believed him...!

Personally Im a fan of Dave's...Makes a Straight 5 sounds like a Straight 8!

Admittedly that is a 2.0 24vt though

I really like mine when its just idling. It just sits there saying, "Come on enough of the purring and burbling, I want to roar."

looking good mate! I think you has thje same exhuast tip as i have got on my cinq. I also have a powerflow back box

lol, i like that. i`ve got a remus and thats not loud but sounds nice cruisin at 60. im unsure at the mo weather 2 get a powerflow.

My janspeed got the Oval tip> looks wellgood i reckon! Much louder now with the manifold/de-cat lol

Demonknight> even tho i have a K&N and would say its a good induction kit, people seem to rave about the GSR F1i kit. Supposed to be better. its around £100 for the cinqi.

Good tip, I'll check it out, thanks

BTW, nice exhaust

Cheers

Don't rule out the K&N by any means if u havn't got £££ to spend on an induction kit, it does the job well!> get some wider diameter air feed pipe from halfords and it great!

I have heard mixed stoires about them, they do come with a life tiime warranty thingy. My powerflow seems to be ok (fitted before i got the car) and i gather DEMONKNIGHT has not had any problems. On the other hand Brickfoot now hates them as they did not do as he asked them to and not cut his old exhaust in half before fitting the new one.
