Hi all,
Having previously used induction kits on all my cars, I ran into a dilemma on recently purchasing a 100% standard Trophy. It is an absolutely fantastic car with a nice raspy exhaust, but doesn't sound like it feels with such a muffled induction sound, something that I would like to address.
I know an induction kit would sound awesome, from past experience with 172's - but would I prefer to keep the car that little bit more standard? Would a performance panel filter release some of that lovely sound whilst retaining a more refined attitude?
I've seen both a K-Tec and ITG replacement filter element 30-50quid respectively, but can't help but wander if I'd be better off doing it "properly" and getting an induction kit. My experience with both Green (106 GTI) and K&N (172) were both good, again not necessarily for power - but for sound. I wouldn't want to lose power, but not looking for the best carbon fibre thing going.
What have people found in their own experience? My pockets are not bottomless so kits like the ITG Maxogen are a step too far imo. as I'm not looking for every extra horse I can find, what I'm after is sound and attitude.
Your thoughts?
