    A 1.1 will always be a 1.1 just because its a louder and beefier sound doesnt mean it will sound more powerfull !!!
    
    If anything it will sound CHAVY IMO !!!!
    
    A 1.1 will always sound like a 1.1 no matter what you put on. Stick with what you have got or go custom

    i can see straight thru, well cant now jus a black hole but i cud see straight thru before it was fitted. dont get me wrong i love the sound of mine, loud and sounds mean, but wanted something better! would maybe getting another of the same back box on the other side (dual) make a differnce if so a big diff or jus slightly or non?

    best not decat it if ya dont know too much 'cos you have to have it refitted before every mot to pass the emissions test.an induction may be just what your looking for mate.not give you any power on a 1.1 really but it will give a nice growl when bootin it.i've got a custom made aluminium 1 i mite be selling that i had on 1.0
