Hey seen a 1.4 SXI and loved it so getting it!

Any tips on making it sound slightly nicer/more throaty. Not like it has a performance exhaust on it, but a nicer sound?

So, if I try running the car without the airbox and filter etc it will give me an idea of what it will sound like if I drill holes?

The new 1.4's don't sound like the old 1.4 16v's due to new inlet.

So if I was you get a nice subtle exhaust and leave it at that. Induction kits unless enclosed are a complete waste of money.

Yeah, I heard induction kits are useless. It sounds okay I gues,s but thought maybe make it sound a litle nicer. I dont want it to be loud and boyracey, I hate that. I want the sound to sound like I havent modded it but when people hear they say "oo that sounds nice! lol
