Cheers mate :D

Right today i took a drive too demon tweeks and bought a metre of 70mm ducting for a new air feed.Dead easy to fit and sounded alot better at first,altough just had another drive and im sure it sounded abit quieter again :shock: but il give it a few days and see how it goes
Just noticed that ive got a sidelight out :( Just read the how to guide and looks like they are a nightmare to replace :shock:

Cheers for the comments :D I think red leads would look good too,but i haven't long replaced them so they will have to stay black for a while lol

I have also noticed that my BMC seems to be really loud some days (seems to be hotter ones) and not so on others?anyone else have the same thing?Like if i come out of work and my car has been in the sun all day its REALLY loud,but when i get in it in the morning its not much louder than a standard airbox :shock:
Weird lol

thanks for reading

I had a pipercross viper on mine which did exactly the same thing, was always a lot noisier when it was warm

Bit of a strange one that, never really noticed mine being louder on certain days lol
Either way they sound immense, I prefer the low rev gargle though :)
