Only reason I had an induction was because of the FMIC. I was quiet happy with an uprated STi panel filter when running the TMIC. If you go for a green cotton one I believe it is more audible from a spooling perspective ?

Yep, agree panel filter for as long as you can retain the airbox for. Works even better with a cold air feed direct into the airbox too

If you go for an induction kit, get a quality one that mounts the filter in the inner wing and make sure you get it mapped to suit.

Dont recomend an induction kit till you want over 400bhp really.

Green one is about the best.

TSL do their own Group N one thats made for them by green thats a bit freeer flowing again.

I had one on mine and was very good.

may do as my ra would only flame at certain points. plus dad drives like miss daisy, so the exhaust doesn't really get that warm
