4 exits is standard im afraid

i snt normally like 5 doors either, it usuall y detracts from the cars lines in sumway, either making it longer or adding a little window somewhere, but i think with the leon it doesnt look any diff to a 3 door

no DV are crap, recirc is the only way forward, open cone induction kits are suckers for heat soak so wont be going there either

i think he means diverter valve not dump valve and the carbonio induction kit is about the best you can buy

it's not that I don't think much of it I just think when people say they are the best (as in any filter) its a crock of shit. they all filter air some do it better than others. K&N work well but clog up quickly, green are the worst of the cotten filters, pipercross flow well and clog up a lot slower than cotton like wise ITG foam flows well and clogs up slowly.

yeah i see what your saying.from what i have read people say that the carbonio is the best they have used.maybe because the filter goes behind the front bumper rather than in the engine bay.i can't fit one to the lcr because of the twin intercoolers.

sounds cool

also cooling as well to rad may have been a problem. maybe easier to fit two I/C rather than a FMIC. FMIC on a LCR does nto really improve things that much IIRC
