Induction Kit Recommendations?

[Em]

What make is the best? I used to have a Green air filter on my old car which I really liked . I've been looking at a few makes but I'm not sure which one to go for?

 

[Anonymous]

Viper or BMC are the best but a bit pricey...

If its worth it I don't mind savin. Has any1 got a K&N?

 

[Tom]

Daz you so funny!

Em, the 1.6 is the black sheep of the bunch, only K&N and green make kits, neither of which I'd really recomend.

The only gain you get is noise, no power gains. If you just want it for the noise then either will do, just remember to clean it every 6-9k miles as a dirty filter will not help your engine. Also insure there is a good cold air supply to the filter.

Here is my long pipe that Daz was reffering to:

 

[Em]

Ooh thats very shiney!!! What if the K&N was combined with an exhaust?

 

[Em]

What engine have you got Tom?

 

[Tom]

Maybe 1-2BHP. I've got a supersprint exhaust as well and I can't tell the difference power wise.

 

[Em]

Whats the exhaust like?

 

[Tom]

Em, thats a 1.6

The exhaust is nice, just the right sound. Not loud except when you boot it. It drones a bit on the motorway.

 

[Em]

Would you recommend it then...I was just lookin at a supersprint today!

 

[Tom]

www.motorsportworld.co.uk is the cheapest place I know for supersprints.

 

[Em]

arrgh thanx, I haven't tried that one!

stick with your Green, nice sound and less sodding common

Smee they've invented a new thing called post



If ever you hear thunka-thunka-thunka from your front wheel, pull over; you may well find you have only two wheel nuts left and both of those are probably loose! Not that that has ever happened to me, honest!
