Already got a Larini fitted and was thinking about getting a Hurricane induction kit. Does the motorway cruising noise increase at all or is it only noticable under acceleration ?

Does it alter the MPG much ?

Have that very combination in my car. The difference is under acceleration and sounds great. It also gives an extra 5Bhp and 2lb/ft of torque when we recently ran mine and another 111S with Larini only, although you won't really notice the difference.

I've not got any frame of reference as my car came with both already fitted, but just to echo Kevin's comments, the time you hear the induction, is when you open the throttle wide. Most of the time, its relatively civilised but it sounds nice and snarly when pressing on.

Can't imagine it would make barely any difference to mpg - it's so good anyway.

The difference Kevin saw on a RR could well be the difference between two engines rather than the induction kit, though.

Certainly possible but even if the induction made a difference it wouldn't be enough to notice

Larini + Hurricane = Audible bliss...
The noise is fine at motorway speeds at the Hurricane only really makes a lot of noise when the throttle is opened up!

DO IT! You'll love the results!

Thanks guys ...no negative comments, lets hope santa brings me one. Looks fairly easy to fit yourself, would I be right ?

It is to an extent: The bolts can be a pig to remove but nowhere near as bad as exhaust bolts. Also it's easier in the long run to take off the nearside rear wheel and liner to get to the second airbox.

Should only take an hour or two though.

It all depends on one bastard nut. If that plays ball, you're laughing. If not...

I have this and it sounds just as good outside (if not better) than inside the car.
