IMO...dont get a K&N induction kit, get the cheaper option of a K&N pannel filter, and drill the airbox, most people on here prefer this as it is better for performance.

Ive drilled the airbox allready and it makes fuck all noise compared to an induction kit. best place for Remus backbox anyone?
not going for tints cos of they are illegal on the front windows now and if I just get the back windows done it will look like a van!

also if i get an exhaust I may aswell go for the whole system cos its only £60 for the racing centre section. do u reckon me and my mate could fit it easily enough ourselves? and do the joints need sealing?
or recommend taking to a garage?
cant be that hard to do! we have a pit and several hammers!

Its a relatively easy job. if you still have the exhaust on the car that was fitted at the factory, you will need to cut the backbox and/or centre section off at the relative point, to fit the new exhaust. If not, then with a bit of elbow grease and a soaking of WD40, it should come apart ok.

wot about the sealing of joints? is that needed? I thought that the centre section was right up to the catalytic converter so wont need to cut it!
