hi there im new to the forum and im currenty driving a ford focus 1.8 zetec and was wandering could someone advise me a good induction kit that makes a nice sound is k and n the way to go??

 

alrite m8 i would stick a KnN panel filter in a st170 airbox with the st170 snorkel, you can remove the resinator box for more sound! aftermarket cone filters tend to just suck in heat from the engine bay.

 

BMC CDA if you have $$$

 

iv got a bmc cda did av a 170 setup with k&n filter no differance between them performance wise i can tell the bmc gives abit more induction noise

yyp, no real performance gains, but the sound of CDA is great

 

yea is if u dont hav a intake hose fitted if u do it quietens it down alot

hi thanx for all the replys the cda filter is quite expensive i found this one which is usually Ł172 but looks like a bargain wat do you guys think??does ny 1 have one??

Exactly what I had on my 1.8, plus a 2.0l auto air deflector.

 

same here, wouldn't recommend if I didn't, though i have the intake going down behind the bumper, not the factory in the grille

you can hear it a bit here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4xhLSROC7w

 

yeah forgot the deflector tho i dont have one one mine yet dos it make a difference?

 

Probally not a lot, but for only Ł8 or so from Ford, its not expensive.

 

hi is the k and n filter the way to go or is there a better option for under Ł100??

 

You should be able to get the k&n panel filter, 2.0l auto air deflector, st170 airbox & st170 snorkel for about Ł100.

 

hi thanks for the reply if you could find one of these then i would be very greatfull iv been looking but havnt found ny yet.

 

ive had a few other filters on mine and it just makes the car stall when the engine bay is hot, KnN panel filter best for me!

 

i've got a 2l zetec and all i've dont is fit a K&N panel filter and ditched the old snorkel for a bit of cold air feed ductin going down to the lower grill. you have o take the airbox out and chop the little fins off the intake nozel tho to get it to fit on and i can remember the exact size either but its nice and cheap and does the job very well!

 

hi that does sound like a good option what is the sound like ??so take the snorkel out and replace it with cold air feed and a k and n panel filter .does the snorkel not act as a cold air feed or does that do something else?

 

its not realy any louder than standard but it flows more cool air so you get better power and throttle response.

the snorkel is a cold air feed but theres 2 down sides to it:

1) it gets air from only a narrow slit between the bonnet and deflector plate.
2) once you pull it apart you realise its very restrictive!

i might take the resonator box off the side for more roar but i doubt i'll be able to hear it as my exhaust is so loud...95db when held at 5k

 

hi every 1 sorry for all the questions but what about a k and n apollo kit any one have one??
