Default Fitted FIPK this weekend

Wow! I mean, just WOW!
The noise is utterly incredible. I ditched the bonnet insulation too and my god.... the sound.

If anyone is considering fitting this and hasn't done so yet, just DO IT.

Pro65R going on next week down at DMS to complete the sound of awesomeness.

They do sound good, I have one, but nothing has beaten the sound you get from a K20 Gruppe 'M for me yet.

I'd love to hear one on a F20.

It now sounds like I have an angry bear under the bonnet of the car who has his balls stuck in a vice. At 6k RPM when VTEC kicks in, someone tightens the vice. WOOOOOOOOOAAHHHHHHHHHHH!

Am I really the only one that thinks too much induction noise just makes you sound like a chav without an air filter?

I like a bit of a growl from there but I'd rather hear a decent exhaust tone...

Without the sound deadening, the K&N sounds like the PRM (with the sound deadening)

God only knows how evil the PRM will sound without the sound deadening.

TRY IT!

Tbh if going about your business silently with just some exhaust burble then purchasing a TVR would have been a better idea
