K&N 57i or JCW sound box?
i have the JCW sound kit on at the mitite but i find that it is very quiet would the K&N 57i make much of a difference in noise?

Damo · Jan 1st, 2007, 03:11 PM

omg... much of a difference is not the words!!

haha... The 57i induction kit sounds immense! The 1st modification to my MC was one of these kits & I was astounded at how much different the noise of the intake was.
The JCW soundbox is pants in comparison sound wise & probably about the same amount in bhp gains to the 57i.

If it made peoples head turn on the street when you put you're foot down & all you've got is an induction kit fitted... then it must be loud!

Try it... you wont be disappointed!

are there any kits for the R56 MCS yet?

Don't you mean it took Ben 45 mins whilst you watched and held tools

Restyle · Jan 1st, 2007, 06:47 PM

I think I ought to market a set of speaker horns that go "Whooosh" when you put your foot down,
.... and go "Pschhhhhhpt" whenever you change gear
.... and "Phaaarrrrt" when you Brake

I didn't know Ben at the time

Damn proud of my handywork on that little beauty so don't knock it!!

craigd · Jan 1st, 2007, 11:57 PM

If you are defo looking for a 57i K & N, then my mate has one that was on his car for 2 days.,... he didn't like the noise, however it's what you want!!!

he is selling it for less than what you would buy it new, so let me know. Defo BARGAIN

Not quite sure how it will work on the R56 with the valvetronic style induction system

Gristy · Jan 4th, 2007, 12:04 AM

How much does your insurance generally go up when you fit something like the 57i K&N?

Does anyone have a sound file that shows the difference?

This is a tempting buy....

Gristy · Jan 4th, 2007, 10:13 PM

on a cooper (R50) that is...

What sort of difference does it make to the sound when you press the "loud pedal", does it change the note as well as volume?

craigd · Jan 4th, 2007, 10:17 PM

changes note and volume.....

difficult to describe, but I would say, it makes the car sound V-tec esc and the volume goes up by a power of 2.

It does sound very growly...

1andy · Jan 5th, 2007, 10:58 AM

Or you could disconnect the pipe from the air box this makes a lot of difference aswell

Damo · Jan 5th, 2007, 08:12 PM

I drove a Cooper with a sound kit today (Courtosy car).

57i wil make a MASSIVE difference.

Sound kit was nice, but 57i will be much louder.

Rob Fuller Spirx · Jan 5th, 2007, 08:59 PM

Yup mine for £35!! HEHE but such a difference, really sounds so nice and then you wait till you go past the 4k mark...you won’t be disappointed!

djgaz · Jan 5th, 2007, 10:56 PM

Hi everyone.
