Njck Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 Hi guys, I know the most obvious answer to my question will be an induction kit, but I am looking for a cheap way to make my fiesta sound half decent untill I save up enough for a nice exaughst, so if anyone has some experience of some nice sounding induction kits, I had a mate test out his old one on my car he said I could have for free, but sounded like !Removed!, also are carbon ones better? Thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks guys i don't see how the material the kit is comprised of will affect the sound as essentially the filtration element will either be made of fine plastic mesh, sponge or paper. i'd go k&n if i were you. only like £50/60 :) don';t forget to tell your insurance company though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nico. Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 i just got a K&N cone... i not told anyone cos its not hard to swap between the two if you keep the original hose on it and leave the box for the stock filter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danzzza Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 You could always just drill a few holes in the airbox before the filter. That will make an induction type noise and its free, dont go too over the top with the holes though :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nico. Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 but then that means you cant return it to stock for re-sale... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fryboi Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 K&N definitely, cheap and sound really good :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazjs Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Interesting thread. I have been thinking along the same lines for a while now, but what puts me off is that i don't want it to sound like something its not, it already has a resonable grumble to it stndard but i don't want to drive past and have people thinking im trying to make my tiny 1.25 sound like some mean machine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
