You will probably loose torque... get a bit of a deep tone when you put your foot down

if u want a sporty tone (induction) then get one, altho u'll notice abit of loss in torque! if u want it for performance then don't get it.

true, but i made 2 feed pipes direct from the front grill straight onto the filter so it could get more cold air than hot

cant be 100% sure on it, as Vibs said, the rolling road will make it seem more than it is due to the fan feeding it cold air but it showed 11 bhp but sorting yourself some feed pipes going direct onto the kit will help you out and you will see a gain

no - he said it made impovments on the rr after the filter was fitted.

so the bonnet was open before filter
bonnet was open after

so if the bonnet was closed both times, would still have made improvments

Must admit though, when drivinjg it, it didnt feel like it was that big an increase, better, but not 11bhp better. You would really notice it on a car with such little bhp as standard

nope, figures are there on the paper, same rolling road, same day, same circumstances, same fuel, i have no reason to doubt what it shows and that was with 2 power runs ( 1 before filter, 1 after) and then a rr tune and set up after
