I know this has been asked loads of times but out of kn and pipercross which is better for noise for a 1999 1.2 sxi ?
i have heard that a pipercross vector is good for noise that right?
I no that most of you would reccomend drilling the air box and get filter but i want a bit of added noise lol and also something good to look at when you open the bonnett lol
cheers

i had K&N and it was noisy but had massive flatspots, i got a 30 pound cheapy one from halfords that looks quite good and sounds just as loud AND has no flat spots.

If you want looks why not go for a Viper/Mamba?

u can get a fairly decent noise out of a drilled airbox mate, id say if you HAD to have looks then ud have to have some sort of enclosed filter.
