good sounding small engined petrols
Discussion
Im moving away from speed and heading more towards a nice sounding car.
My mate has an old school clio 1.2 8v and the pipe to the airbox has come off and it actually sounds quite good between 3-5500 revs, and although he revs it a lot it always gets 40mpg plus.
what other small engined petrols could sound good with a slight airbox mod/panel filter, be nippy on the road, good handling and return 35mpg with a lead foot?

I suspect any (small) engine with some breathing mods can (but not necessarily) sound good.
I fitted a Pipercross (foam) filter to my old 1.0l Nissan Micra.
Under idle/light loaded it sounded normal, but at wider throttle opening (which was a lot with only 998cc) it sounded fking awesome like a rorty Elise
does swapping air filters make much of a difference to noise?I fitted a Pipercross (foam) filter to my old 1.0l Nissan Micra.
