If you want noise then yes it is good.

Otherwise an open cone filter ploncked in the middle of the engine bay will suffer considerable heat soak and probably lose you midrange power.


Better enclosed induction kits out there but you'll need to pay more.

Cheers, I thought that from what I've read on here. Would there be a way of modding this kit myself to help things?

Thanks for the reply, I'm not too clued up on this sort thing yet.

I'd personally avoid induction kits, both open filters and enclosed kits.

Open filters - loose power due to heat soak and make lots of noise...

Enclosed kits - might not loose power, but probably won't gain much, if anything

Standard airbox with a performance panel filter, like a green panel filter off KamRacing for £38 is the best bang for your buck!
If you want a nicer induction noise, remove the airbox resonator and blank the whole off or run another cold air feed to it.

Just stick with a standard air box with a performance filter like a K&N.

Had a standard air box on mine and changed to a BMC CDA. Haven't noticed any difference in performance I prefer the look of it in the engine bay.
