   Greens are good, but not made too well tbh.
   
   Very nice noise though.
   
   Do you get everything you need to fit a BMC when you buy it?
   
   Buying £70 Samco pipes is a bit off putting.

    BMC the ducting supplyed with it isnt that strong mine split after a couple of days
    i paid £40 for my silicone from hose direct
    never heard or tried a green so cant coment
    but open dont waste your money on a open induction kit unless you want noise n no power

    BMC for definate, i have one on my car and i love it to bits..
    
    got the cold air pipe running to a cold air spot and the car responds ALOT better, especially at higher speeds.
    
    the noise they make is much better than a PiperX or similar as well, more subtle but "Turbo-esqe"
    
    Saxo BMCs are here if you want to order one

    recently fitted the green enclosed kit to mine and i think its excellent,sounds lush and a definate improvement on power,they do break as ive heard but if you put soon rubber washers where the carbon fibre bit attaches to the slam panel its fine.bmc are good too but not had one so would say green.
