Needed to see what all the fuss was about so rang Revolution and the Group Buy was finished.... But they have 2 kits which are damaged with scratches on the underside of the carbon... Got one of these for a discounted price and within 2 hours of the phone call it was on the car..... What a sound.... Worth every penny.... So I eat my words from earlier on the thread.... :jump: One happy camper.... :thumbs:

Hi I am quite interested in one of these, I have Milltek high flow cats plus a non resonated exhaust, would it still enhance the sound of the car with this exhaust,

It will do fella...you just don't hear the induction noise on its own which is sweet..you will have a crescendo of noise..get yourself down the rr day we are doing at amd next month and listen to some for yourself...

Anyone run one of these on a supercharged car ??

I,m thinking of one but obviously I think it will only increase the whine of the charger rather than the intake roar hence the reason I havnt got one yet, the whine just now is just fine , nice but not too intrusive in the car.... outside tho it sounds amazing on acceleration and turns heads , PPL turn round looking and are like... WTF is that ??? :biggrin3:
all the charged cars i know of have kept the OEM airbox and use performance panel filters, CAF etc
Anyone out there have one or heard one on a Supercharged RS ??

Thanks I will email/phone them on Monday hoping they still have them on offer, as my car is currently at AMD getting rear discs and pads+looking at for a slight misfire i get from cold, so its going to be an expensive week,

Are these easy to fit? or would it be a mechanic only job?
also does your car need mapping again, due to the change in airflow etc, I really want one now:) did not think the car could sound any better!!
