well if I get a free one, I'll try it out... not gonna bother otherwise.

Only reason it sounded appealing is the idea about it reducing fuel consumption and emisions if you get high lift cams and you're worried about your car failling emisions tests, etc...

I've got one on my 16v. I bought it cos the hype sounded good, better fuel economy, better pull in low revs etc


to be honest apart from the noise it makes when you come of the gas, it hasn't made much difference..... :-\

does the cabrio have all the soundproofing under the bonnet like teh valver + vr6 have?   if not might be worth a shot fitting it..

Soundproofing.... pretty sure the underside of my bonnet is just a bumpy version of the top-side!
