AgtX80 Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 My car is totally standard & too quiet for my liking, i want to leave the exhaust alone (unless a backbox is easily fitted & removed later). So figured an air filter would add some engine noise Whats the best aftermarket air filter? Anyone got a set of used alloys for under £500. I dont like the standard wheels.

tooquicktostop Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Exhaust is the only way to go really for better noise, leave the air filter as stock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc_p Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Exhaust is the only way to go really for better noise, leave the air filter as stock Would definetly agree with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miko_supra Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 a free way to get more engine noise is to take off he heat/sound proofing off from underneath the bonnet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgtX80 Posted February 21, 2008 Author Share Posted February 21, 2008 Ok, whats the best exhaust? I have the super dragger on my current car as its not overly loud but its too expensive + rubbish. Didnt realise when i bought it that only the backbox is stainless steel, the rest is just steel, the thing rusted through in less than a year. Had to go to powerflow for custom pipework. Can you just get backboxes or do i have to buy a cat back? i dont want a super loud one. Fensport have the Blitz nurspec one for £265, in comparison the HKS supergdragger is £545 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AgtX80 Posted February 21, 2008 Author Share Posted February 21, 2008 Looks real good. Is it a cat back or does it go on the mid section? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're wanting an aftermarket induction kit I'd recommend either of these.

steb9780 Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Fensport have the Blitz nurspec one for £265, in comparison the HKS supergdragger is £545 Surely that is for the Nur Spec backbox only and the Drager will be a full cat-back. So the prices seem about right to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul mac Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 how loud is it? wake up the neighbours loud? it is quite a bit louder than the dragger my mate put an extra silencer box in his Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgtX80 Posted February 22, 2008 Author Share Posted February 22, 2008 For a system thats not full stainless, its a bit steep. I like the sound of the silent hi-power & the look too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
