spr1ngy Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 So, if any of you know me form my introduction, i am a "non-petrol head" 23 year old, zed owner...... except after a few good battles with my mates 08 astra vxr, have decided its quite fun Now i'm thinking of some upgrades in the noise department and first item that "pops" into my heads is an induction kit. Seems alot of people run the JWT but i very much like the look of the HKS reloaded, but the million dollar is............... which sounds better??? I know the horsepower gain is "apparently" minimal and that (after reading a post here actually) the standard filter has a better airflow, i just want it to sound mean As a point of interest, is induction a sensible first mod? Cheers. Quote
martinmac Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Its very good first mod. Stick a K1 exhaust without the plugs on as well then tell your mates to stand back Quote
M350ZB Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 plenty of good inductions kits out there bud and some sweet exhausts, Welcome to the club by the way , where you based bud ? Quote
Ian Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 I wanted the hks filter but at more than double the price of the jwt I refuse to buy it Quote
MITZ@CougarStore Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 I do the HKS kit, comes with the pipe/heatshield and fitting kit... If you want the Pop charger, the Chillis will sort you a good deal... As Martin says, the K1 will deliver a great sound, some more info in the Traders section on this... Quote
spr1ngy Posted March 17, 2009 Author Posted March 17, 2009 Hey, yeah i am based in east-anglia, a little town called Godmanchester, situated roughly halfway between Cambridge and Peterborough. Exhausts are a "lil" touch too expensive at the moment for me as i'm going to the states for 3 weeks in October...... but some some mods here and there wont hurt You all might be a bit interested in where i work actually, a company called Lola Cars International, we build Lemans sports cars, parts for F1, and a variety of other single-seater and sports cars, aswell as bits and bobs for road cars. Once i figure out all the ins and outs of posting pictures i'll get some pics of the place (and cars) up. Quote

As long as it's not carbon fibre, I should be safe... Well, obviously we make ALOT of bespoke carbon products, and, as i work in the windtunnel, ive designed a few aero packages..... plus i'm on very good terms with the modelshops guys, already got some carbon b pillars in the works...... My car is black though so i can't have too much exterior carbon, think it mught clash a touch......... Quote
