Apexi.. Noise? Performance?

[eternity575]

Ok, for those who have the apexi induction kit..

i asked this q in envy forum (dont beat me up yet) as a technical only q.. but ill ask this again here..

i bought a used apexi kit from a friend for 20 pounds.. 2 days after i installed it, he wanted it back.. i didnt even take it for a spin cause of the rain..

anyhow... i bought a new one from kev yesterday (thnx kev) and should get it in a week or so..

but i heard so much talk bout performance, and noise..

i guess i wont gain lots in performance, (ive got the TS) another HP or so if im not mistaken..

but what other changes? people are saying the noise will change.. what noise? engine noise? or will i hear the "ssssssssst" sound when i hit the gas?

someone?

It sounds like Darth Vader, under yer bonnet! :D

hahahah...

so it IS that sssssssst sound from the air being sucked? its not the engine sound itself?

Its hard to explain mate but your car will sound much better for it! You will boot it around more often aswell, foot to the floor when you pull away everytime!

Its a great sound, though I would say the lower end pick up is slower,once above 3000 rpm it picks up quicker than before.

yeah... the sound is nice... a "deep" roar once you get to around 3000rpm...

performance... I dunno... not really... but will help alot if you upgrade your exhaust in the future... :)

The first time i took mine for a spin after fitting it i was like .. "What the hell ... is it my car thats making that noise or is a scooby following me or something"!

I was really suprised with the difference in noise it made and it instantly put a smile to my face as soon as i was sure it wasnt any other car making that noise!

I'm sure you'd be happy with it!

Best thing is that the colder the weather gets - the more pronounced the noise gets!
