rite. i'm just gonna get one or the other. Money reasons. If its a backbox i'll want a stainless steel one wiv lifetime guarentee, so im figuring that'd be about £110 quid. If its a induciton kit that'll set me bak bout £70 ish. What would give me the best power/noise increase? What would you lot do?

I'd go for the induction kit. My K&N makes more moise than my full zhorst system with a de-cat pipe.

I would have thought the induction kit would give you more power but you might not notice it.

If you are going for looks get the back box.

it depends what u want to be honest like he says if u want looks the backbox is the best option dont know what the quality will be for 70 notes though mine was 160 just for the backbox but if u want sound defo the induction kit - gives you plenty of sound when I took mine out I couldnt believe how much sound I actually lost

if i were on a budget i would get a mild steel back box (about £70???!!)...and then id buy a pannel filter (about £25?!), and dril some holes in the airbox housing.

a mildsteel backbox should last u at least 2 years!!! they have about a 2or 3 year garentee depending on the make...but will u have the car in 2 years time? so u may be doin urself a favour buy getting wat i serggest!

Dont bother with induction kits. Just drill your airbox and then spend your pennies on a backbox.

Thats ok then. As long as its not one of the 1.2/1.4 8v's. They dont like induction kits at all.

Yeah which model do u have? I stuck a 57i kit on my 1.2 8v and it hasn't made that much difference at all. Theres a bit more poke right at the top of the rev range but thats all. The noise has changed a little but again not as much as my last car which I just whacked a backbox on.

A BFO on a 1.4 or 1.6 16v makes it sound like a Scooby! No back box (unless you drill that ) will make half the noise!

i've got a 1.2 8v and i've got a stainless steel backbox. like philly said it only sounds decent when it has warmed up. i'm also a bit unsure as what to do about my air filter. i've got money but what should i do induction kit or panel filter and drilled airbox? cos i don't know what would be best for noise.

get a peco backbox and cut ti open and take out the insulation stuff, that roars!! then just run without an air filter, all it does is add weight and restristion! then itll fly and sound tha bol
