Which is the best induction kit.

[buggs]

Searched the forum for previous topics on this subject but could not find one for my particular model of car (s2 111s(04) . I am going for janspeed stage 1 exhaust. Which induction kit should i go with then please?

[Mr_C]

does piooly (search for him on here)not do one mate? if he does it'll probably be the best value, but I can't remember his website!

I've got some more coming up for sale very soon. £65 inc postage. Quite a few owners on here have them and like the product. I'll let you know when they are ready.

The best value is just to replace your paper filter with high quality foam one for around £35 from ITG or similar.

If you want a fancy noise inducer then there are several. The hurriciane is the most popular with a few others a bit cheaper but less well know. The nicer one is the ITG Carbon one but at closer to £350 its a fair amount of money.

ITG is the best made and fills up the engine bay quite nicely...

I actually prefer the Hurricane as it's simple and fecking loud!!!!!

Cheers!

Go for a HURRICANE

I also have an 04 111S and I fitted one month ago. The car certainly roars now.
I still have a huge grin every time i boot it

I did a whole load of before and after videos, but the sound is so c**p on most of them i can't post.

I did manage this though - before and after from in car.

Sound is shocking - as is camera work - but you still hear the roar - and trust me it is LOUD.
We live just off a country road and the Mrs hears me a good few seconds before i get home.

Would it be easy to get someone to install it? ( I would trust myself ) Im in the Leeds area.

What do insurance companies think about them? Best place to buy?

Cheers

Yep if you want the whole unit it looks like the one.
The other nice thing about the ITG is that they use a Tri layer foam filter which is easy to clean in hot soapy water, just make sure its dry before you oil it and put it back. The Hurricaine and similar need special cleaners as they use a hard paper/cotton style media.

Insurance... if you just replace the pannel.. they cant say much, however if you replace the unit most high street insurance companies will load you with a 5-10% premium per mod.

Installation is fairly easy, if you can make a MFI unit and have a few tools and take your time you will be fine.

£ for £ I'd say that the Hurricane offers good value and compromise between good quality materials, proven design and testing, and ease of fitment.

They're all much of a muchness, so it really depends on how much money you want to spend!

took me and a mate 2 hours - you have to jack the car up - whip rear wheel off - take out airbox one - swear alot at airbox 2 - take out airbox 2 - install induction kit.

Is the ITG Pro-Filter Panel Filter what you mean by replacing the panel ? Would something like this be as good ?

Tried adding a link but it broke!

Yep - that'll do it. 5 mins to fit max - you can get a K&N panel from Halfords which will do the same job (make it breathe a bit easier) and no postage. The ITG and Pipercross ones are foam whereas the K&N and Green ones are cotton - both of which are fine if you look after them, foam ones can start to disintegrate after a while if neglected.

Want to do something to increase the Rooaarrr!

Will probably give the insurance people a call before doing anything to make sure they are happy. As it's only a filter can't see why they wouldn't be but better to be safe.

happy days!
