The bigger the engine the more performance you will get from an induction kit--- Fact!
the induction works as a cold-air intake for the engine, making the engine breath better as opposed to element filters.

I got an 57i induction kit when i first got the car and i really wanted to keep the air box as it made the engine look tidy, but i cudnt work out how to keep the air box and fit the k&n, so i got rid of it and now seeing these pics i want to put the air box back on and somehow fit the k&n but i aint got a bloomin clue

just be brave and cut a hole in it like i did
it does look great from a distance but its not exactly show material!

if you go to ripspeed/halfords they sell a replica/ripspeed version of the bmc. Its about £60 iirc, looks almost the same. As it has a direct air supply, it will pull in less hot air. I currently have a K&N on a 1.4. It sounds decent and gives you a sucking noise when the air is drawn in. Ive personally noticed that the engine is a bit more responsive, but dont expect to get a huge performance boost, there is a little more on high end speeds though.

wow, i have a 1.4 16v and a SHYT wage lol, will the ripspeed one from halfords give me the sucking noise? i thought only dump valves give that dont u need a turbo 4 that? x x x

yo mate
even the k&n induction kit gives a nice sucking noise, quite loud actually and sounds abit turbo-ish hehe, not sure what other makes of filters make this noice but i should imagine most cone and cylinder filters would do.

ur thinking of the dump valve badoosh sort of sound lol, this sound is like...just imagine a small plastic thing sucking air in really fast...its not very loud and not deep

in my old mk4 1.0 8v i'd just topped up the oil and was revving it to get it worked around, i then noticed that when u totally floored it and let it off you had a very noticable sucking sound with the standard air box...lol

yeh k&n gives a tsssssh sound when u tap accelerator, sounds pretty nice to be honest.
by the way whats wiv the

x x x

after the writing? u blowin us kisses?

anyone got pics on a mk4?

K&N makes the sucking sound after you change gear and tap the accelerator, mines loud TBH, it doesnt sound like a dump valve, but does sound rather nice

Na the ripspeed one i aint sure, but its called a Ripspeed Carbon intake kit...its a universal jobbie, but i reckon the bmc is too.

cough*~#i might have my k&n for an mk4 for sale#~*cough


@ Daveo - pics of what mate? a k&n on a mk4?

right on Ak
it ain't quiet at all!
but its noticeably different from a dump valve

A dump valve noise is much more deeper, if your looking to imitate one of these with a air filter then NO this wont do it. If u REALLY need this noise then i would suggest buying one of those speaker things that have the dump valve noise pre-recorded, which plays you cant get a faker dump valve than this!

Depends if you're after sound, performance, or both.

The BMC is a good all rounder, as are Maxogen ITG kits. I had a Pipercross Viper on my Saxo, and wasn't impressed with the gains i saw for £250.

lol the " x x x " is jus respect man kisses 4 yall lol, but ok if i want a nice noise but cheap as possible wat do i go 4?????? bmc will be 2 expensive 4 me (kfc sounds good ) lol but we ent ere 2 chat abt food lol
