i gotta 1.4 16valve. im finking an induction kit may be the way to go. Pete- u reckon th BFO is the best type? wot do other people fink plz?

get a peco backbox and cut ti open and take out the insulation stuff, that roars!!:D:D:D then just run without an air filter, all it does is add weight and restristion! then itll fly and sound tha bol
lox!

i've got a 1.2 8v and i've got a stainless steel backbox. like philly said it only sounds decent when it has warmed up. i'm also a bit unsure as what to do about my air filter. i've got money but what should i do induction kit or panel filter and drilled airbox? cos i don't know what would be best for noise.

A BFO on a 1.4 or 1.6 16v makes it sound like a Scooby! No back box (unless you drill that ;) ) will make half the noise!

Yeah which model do u have? I stuck a 57i kit on my 1.2 8v and it hasn't made that much difference at all. Theres a bit more poke right at the top of the rev range but thats all. The noise has changed a little but again not as much as my last car which I just whacked a backbox on.

Thats ok then. As long as its not one of the 1.2/1.4 8v's. They dont like induction kits at all.

1.4 16v im guessing, in which case get an induction kit, they roar with those things.

What engine is it?

Dave

Dont bother with induction kits. Just drill your airbox and then spend your pennies on a backbox.

Dave

if i were on a budget i would get a mild steel back box (about £70???!!)...and then id buy a pannel filter (about £25?!), and dril some holes in the airbox housing.

a mildsteel backbox should last u at least 2 years!!! they have about a 2or 3 year garentee depending on the make...but will u have the car in 2 years time? so u may be doin urself a favour buy getting wat i serggest!

james:wave:

i would go for the powerflow back box!!!
more sound then induction

thats what I would do too

Induction kit makes loads of noise!Back box only makes any real noise when they are warm, if ya on a bidject just ket a clip on and induction kit then get a system later on;)

Get a backbox and modify airbox by puttin some 40-50mm holes down left side and run a cold air feed up from behind bumper

thats what I have got and no way is it anywhere near than the pipercross I had in

I reckon my Monza backbox gives more noise than my bfo

it depends what u want to be honest like he says if u want looks the backbox is the best option dont know what the quality will be for 70 notes though mine was 160 just for the backbox but if u want sound defo the induction kit - gives you plenty of sound when I took mine out I couldnt believe how much sound I actually lost

i can't afford a full system. So you reckon induction kit will give me some good noise?

I'd go for the induction kit. My K&N makes more moise than my full zhorst system with a de-cat pipe.

I would have thought the induction kit would give you more power but you might not notice it.

If you are going for looks get the back box.

full system lot better than a back box
drill some holes in airbox vrommmmm vrommmmmmm

rite. i'm just gonna get one or the other. Money reasons. If its a backbox i'll want a stainless steel one wiv lifetime guarentee, so im figuring that'd be about £110 quid. If its a induciton kit that'll set me bak bout £70 ish. What would give me the best power/noise increase? What would you lot do?
