TTT Might as well, disconnect the battery before you fit the kit, then by the time you've fitted it you'll have probably had your 1/2 hour or so. Remember to get any security codes for the headunit and to leave the key in the ignition on position 1 if you have a factory immobiliser.

	quote: Originally posted by corsamatt2005 Hi evry1, i have a standard exhaust and air box/filter atm, if i bought a piperX induction kit would fit a 1.2 8v and would it sound alright without exhaust etc? i want one so plz dont suggest drilling my airbox etc (Joffery!) Where can i get one online, is POTN the best bet? WTF? Why would I recommend something stupid like modifying the airbox :lol: I only tell people that because they're so anti-induction kits. Fitting an induction kit will give your car a lovely growl as you accelerate. No more power, but your throttle response will be a lot quicker/smoother and revs will climb and fall a lot more easily. All without needing a change of backbox! Obviously fitting a nice sporty backbox will help with the sound the car makes, but on smaller engines you tend to get a drone rather than an exhaust note. Get a PK037XL - it's more or less what the old PVD BFO cones used to be. Any Pipercross retailer can get them for you - Rimstyle, POTN, Need for Speed, etc.
