Default Mods to ST170!

Hiya,

Just wanting to know if it would make much of a difference to put in an Induction Kit to My ST???

Newbie to the whole Car scene!
Thanks!

The k&n induction kit i put on my ST170 made it slower so it only lasted a week or so and changed to a panel filter instead

A de-cat or sports cat, full exhaust and bluefin or dreamscience would be best for performance

Pipercross vipers work quite well. but a panel filter is good enough. either that or keep paper filter and remove the resonator box, get a little bit more air in, sounds nice to and best of all costs nothing
