Someone help me concerning induction kits!

[stevewrighty2k]

i have a 99 1.2 8v clio (ok, it aint a ferrari, but im a young driver and insurance is a scandal!) i was gonna fit an induction kit, more for the noise, but any possible power gain would be a bonus, but now im reading that people think they make no difference at all, even to the sound of a 1.2?

you wont feel any gains with a ind kit, but if you want more noise then go for a cotton gauze kit

yea, if you want noise get a cotton gauze, the foam ones dont really give you any noise

so have a look at K&N and Green etc...

thanks everybody for your advice.
i decided to just save the money, and get bits and pieces for outside the car to make it look a bit better. I bought a car magazine, and they suggested drilling holes in the existing air filter casing to let more air in, and as i have already tried this...........i just hope it works!

thanks

ive got a 1.2 8v 00, with a pipercross ind, but ive never run it seperate from the s/s exhaust, but the ind DEFINATELY makes a difference in acceleration and throttle response (nothing major ofcourse) but there is a definate noticeable difference, but i think this is down to the combination of the exhaust as well, the ind kit ive got doesnt make any noise, only when reving really hard.
