I'm absolutely clueless when it comes to all this so just looking for advice on my best options to get more of a growl from my mk7 zetec s? Not fussed about increasing the hp, just hoping to change the sound 🤔

    What engine is it? Easiest option is a simple drop in panel air filter - just make sure you inform your insurance company.

    i agree with mitch. I believe that is the cheapest option too? The next best thing a little bit different would be a new back box. I purchased a 3 inch sportex yeserday and it has a lovely deeper tone and some lovely popping when you let of the gas XD that is the next cheapest thing. Adds a minescule amount of power but barely noticeable. The sound however much better

    Sometimes an exhaust can drone a bit when on the motorway or just generally be noisy around town, whereas a panel filter/induction kit would only really make noise when you are accelerating. I have found that a decent induction system removing as much restriction as possible (sometimes its not the air filter but the airbox itself) helps massively with throttle response and overall drivability.

    OP - What engine do you have?

    It's a 1.6? So how do I go about that, have you any recommendations?

    Stick a Lion in the boot and let it go hungry, that should do it

    I don't recommend this. The roar/grunt doesn't turn off and when it does, the sound never comes back. On the plus side, it can make a 1 or 1.2L sound like a V12 at high revs.

    :P

    Great idea mate just make sure you don't get in the car first or you will be eaten and the roar is no more XD
