millteks rumble, if you want throaty you're better off fitting a CAI

... or just a K&N or Pipercross induction kit will make it nice and throaty (altough a CAI will add more horsepower due to the colder air).  :)

Nooooooooooo !! they f*ck your engine. The MAF sensors in these motors are tempremental enough without having muck splattered on them from max power stylee induction kits ! If you want to do it on the cheap... get your hands on another airbox, smooth all the fins out of it (but using an OE filter), and plug a cold air feed into it with some ducting down to the front of the car. Not an exact science I know, but cheaper than dynatwist but with all the gains and none of the drawbacks of a K&N.

Chris,

I didn't think that Pipercross ones were impregnated with oil like the K&N ones are.? They've got a dry foamy-type thing.?

Don't the Carbonio CAIs have a cone filter on the end anyway???

Have you still got a stock air-box, then?
