K+N is one of the most popular, im sure i read somewhere it will give about an extra 6bhp roughly (maybe slightly more or less) either way it certainly helps the car breath a lot better.

There are several companies out there that make good ones, bad ones and brilliant ones. The K&N is a good mid range induction kit, especially if you take the time to run a cold air ram to the grill at the front. Also K&N have fabricated a nice holder which seats it nicely in the engine bay.

Graham Goodes up in my neck of the woods make a kit which is little shy of 300 squid...is it worth it? probably not in my opinion because gains of 5 - 10bhp are possible if you play with your exhaust system also. The best 'starter' mod combo out there in my opinion is the Milltek Flexi pipe and the K&N if you are on a bit of a budget but still want good gains.

57i is my recomendation.. Like you i'm not clued up on much and thought loads about getting a K&N, first time I put my foot down it sounded loud but on the 1 hour journey back home it was ace. You can drive it so you cant hear it at all.

As I said in a previous posts, people often say to me 'you should get an induction kit' when I have had it fitted for ages.

You won't look back.

Cheapest when I looked was STX styling but I haven't looked lately. They missed out a cold air feed (should have 2) so I rang them and they first classed it to me.
