    hey was jus wondering does the wolfrace induction kit make a gud sound with no power loss? and also which is best out of the Wolfrace kit or the K&N cone filter or a pipercross foam filter to get best noise and maybe slight increase in performance, if not no performance loss? thanks. jim

    if you use any you just listed then move them to the front of the engine or you will get heat soak off them all and loose power

    You need a metal induction pipe,then a length of flexy cold air feed pipe.

    If you have an open 'cone' filter then its going to suck in the hot air from the engine bay and decrease power.

    By getting an enclosed system - BMC, raceland etc then you may see a rise in horses.

    If you want it purely for noise then go for an open. The enclosed will be much quieter.

    up to you

    me personally, would put power before noise...so i would always opt for the enclosed kits insted of the open ones....

    BMC is good although expensive
    Raceland with green filter is cheap and cheerful

    BMC imo get my vote as its a solid unit..not need to faf on with fitment unlike the raceland one

    Ive got the pipercross x cone
    Along with decat under the car and a large back box and exhaust its real loud.My neighbours can hear me from quarter mile away if im flooring it late at night.
    Only downside i find is a slight loss in power below 4000 rpm, and also a loud droning between 3000 and 4000 rpm which gets a bit deafening on long journeys!
