Default is it worth getting induction kit for and '01 fezza 1.25?

may sound like a daft question - but im not made of money and they sound better than the stock air box - not sure about how much more power id get

i think the fezza is 74bhp stock - i might get 6 extra!!! may be not!!

your thoughts?

thanks

waste of money,can't see anymore power being made.Will give a nice induction roar though.Thinking about it more,you will probally lose power,as sucking warm air from the engine compartment is worse than the cold air being fed into the stock airbox.

Save your money and just drill holes in the air box.

Just get a replacement K&N panel filter. £30 odd quid, will sound a bit better, noperformance improvements though. Save the rest for a new car

Take out the air box, drill the UNDERNEATH, about 30 holes should do it with a 6-8mm bit. Make sure you drill the bottom of the box, so air still passes through the filter.
