Hi .. i seen it advertised on ebay quite a bit recently ..but no one seems interested in bidding.

 

Be honest im a bit weary of these.. i prefer an induction kit that housed in an air box so it looks more stock (K&N Typhoon and Stillen).

It looks good, but I can now see a problem fitting it to a zed.

 

The end of the cylinder does not meet the front of the engine edge, therefore you would have to use their flexible hosing, which is not long or wide enough IMO. The K&N typhoon seems better in this respect.

 

I think the design which allows the greatest diameter/amount of airflow seems best, maybe something like this:

Yeah like the look of those!

 

For me i always try to consider the re-sale.. so want the mods that look as stock as possible

The BMC's are popular on EP3 Civic Type-R's. A mate had one on his and rated it highly as it didn't suffer heatsoak as much as others such as the Blitz Sonic I had on mine. Although its much more muted than than the Blitz

I've also heard they work quite well on Honda's...

It made a difference on my Audi TT too, had one install, doesnt make much noise but there was a difference in pickup

The Leon boys (SeatCupra.net) seemed to rate them very highly when I had my Leon FR. Never got round to fitting one though.
