Can someone help me out.
I have recently fitted a Magnex zorst system and K&N induction kit to my MY00 and I actually think the car seems slower
The car does sound good now but I do feel I have had a drop in performance, can anyone shed some light as to what the problem could be, can't see it being the exhaust so may be it is the induction kit ???????

Likely to be either boost related (do you have a boost gauge?), or a fuelling issue (K&N maybe causing a lean spot during spooling).

Best is to get it monitored via DeltaDash if you can - it's unlikely, but maybe your car is detting.....

...or quite likely - depending on how mach exhaust is replaced - the performance has improved but isn't noticeable as the delivery is smoother. Has happened before...

DeltaDash, Select Monitor or Fault Codes - but just 'cos there's no fault code doesn't mean it's not on it's way out....

You really need someone with DeltaDash - you'd then see straight away what was going on.

Performance can drop due to open K&N filter drawing hot air from engine bay as well. Be sure you get a nice feed of cold air getting to the cone / air filter.
