[m8typ]

Is there a particular induction kit anyone recommends? Going to Brands next month and just want to car sounding as sweet as possible for the day.

itg maxogen

[GmL_BrM]

the maxogen is the best one but properly expensive - i'd go with the Pipercross Viper Kit, still very good and half the price of the ITG.

[Taff]

same as, i have a BMC one wich is poop, save some pennies and ill be going for the viper or maxogen.

[Catterall1]

I have a BMC CDA on mine, and its superb.
Would recommend one over a Viper any day.

As above, the ITG Maxogen is the best, but more than twice as expensive as the BDA's or Vipers.

[m8typ]

Is the K&N not worth it then?

[Frekkel]

k&n makes a lot of boyracer crap sound, but comes with powerloss. and costs almost as much as a viper

viper is good and gives some horses, but no extra sound
maxogen is best and gives more horses and a little extra sound

price difference between viper and maxogen is not small but in my opinion worth saving for.

[Catterall1]

The BMC Gives quite a bit of sound, and horses..

Drilled air box?

remove passenger headlight, get a piece of dishwasher pipe and put a piece of cotton gauze over the throttle body....:shutup::shutup:

TBH the Viper is good but has a v different sound to the open cone filters.

IF you can get a proper heat shield made up then go open cone, if not go closed, but the sound will be totally different.

[m8typ]

I looked at the BMC, theres a 2nd hand one on ebay but I thought they didnt make much different to the sound, it was mainly the cone ones that did that, please correct me if im wrong

[m8typ]

catterall that sounds sweet, is that just a BMC or have you changed the exhaust?

[Catterall1]

Nope standard car mate, just the BMC.

I picked it up for a bargain price of £50 posted, but it seems the going price is around £80 posted

[m8typ]

Really? I cant find one for less then £160, where can you get one for £80?

[m8typ]

Also is it worth changing the throttle body to a 52mm one?

p.s. Sorry adam i know i shouldnt have started this thread in general discussion

Second hand mate sorry mate I didnt specify they are about £150+ new.
Just make sure you get the CDA 85-150 version, as they have different sizes for engine capacities (small engines, v6's & turbos etc)

[Taff]

they do give out an ok sound but i cant see any change in performance or responce. ill sell mine if anyone is interested.

[m8typ]

how much you looking for it Taffy?

[Taff]

im open for offers. where u from, if ur close then i can come meet u and u can see what its like on mine first if u like.

[m8typ]

No I'm not local mate, I'm in dartford.

Have you kept the standard throttle body on yours?

[Adam]

p.s. Sorry adam i know i shouldnt have started this thread in general discussion

No worries, its now in the right section ;)

For my tuppence, I've got a PiperX Viper and 52mm TB, coupled with the complete Janspeed system and sports cat it does the job rather well.

Out of interest what event are you attending at Brands?

[m8typ]

The Novice evening session on 27th, (see my post on your thread about brands)
