Default Induction kits - 04-29-2004 , 01:46 AM






Hello, I was wondering if someone could tell me the difference in the
contents between an induction kit (around 70-80 quid), and an induction air
filter (the cone things) which costs around 30. Why the massive price
difference?

Dead Easy, The more expensive it is , the louder the noise it makes, and the
amount of money you have just wasted is greater !

Because the perceived 'improvement' is directly proportional to the amount
by which your wallet is lightened. If you're stupid enough to buy these
things.

The more expensive ones usually have little flashing LED's that go across
the Grille.......KEWL.

None.
But if you don't buy a full kit, then you aren't gonna be able to attatch
the cone (unless you're very lucky, and it just "fits").

Kit is a kit - comes with all fixings and required pipes.

About £5 worth of plastic or corrugated foil pipe, a few hose clips and
a fancy anodised aluminium trumpet

The filter is MUCH easier to change. The induction kit really needs a
cold air intake for it to be effective. The induction kit will effect
your insurance. The noise will also be more with the induction kit.
I'd go for the filter!

Cripes. Ask a simple question and you get so many stupid answers.

Thanks for this one. So whats the point of the cone itself if you cant fit
it on without all the pipes/fittings? Can you get those seperately? The
price difference is quite steep.

I was thinking of getting an Apiro air filter which costs around 35 but I
don't know if I'll be able to fit it on.

Cheers.

The kit includes the mounting plates and brackets (adapter) needed to
fit it to the air intake.

If you're not on somebody's shit list, you're not doing anything
worthwhile.
