ive got vibras and they aren't anywhere near as bad as I was expecting.....

they are louder and rattlier obviously, but needs must and all that!!

Ford ones again would be okay for that power anyway just depends if you want to uprate?

I know that feeling. Went mad on the Escort and sai d we would leave it there. Then decided a FRST was a good idea but we'd keep it standard. Then I got a K&N off my bro for a tenner and it just snowballed from there. Look forward to seeing yours go at Bedford
