imo i would stay away from the one you posted...i would go for a viper as its only £90 more
also closed units dont make as much noise as open unit
if you want roar try a piper X. XL
make sure it gets plenty of cold air, so add some sort of breathing from the front of the car like a cold air feed...the bigger the better

either a panel filter on a derestricted airbox, or a sealed induction. i have a ram air max flow kit mate and i think its great

yes the dblias airbox make's a deep induction noise unlike piper x's do. i had a k and n and a ram air on before and i felt this one was worth the money as it gets loads of cold air,looks great and sounds better than an induction kit imo
worth every penny

they do if you drill it. there should be a guide to this in the tutorials section. the bigger the holes the deeper the roar. or if you take the air box out, on the underneath, side nearest the wing theres a part you can unclip on some models then just sick a cold air feed in it

It'll help it breath. Thats about it.
If you kick its ass from a cold start and redline b4 you turn the engine off that'll kill it.

it would be less stress than a piper x or k and n. but im not a pro mate...ask advise when ordering mate and see, they will probs say yes for a sale...shouldnt be a prob as long as the engine is healthy it shouldnt cause any harm

Save up. If it more expensive then save up. If it's fooked then buy the cheaper option now then the better option when you can afford it.
