K&N 57i - absolute business. Does accentuate the dump noise though

K&N induction kit, definitely. Much louder than playing with the down pipe, and much cheaper. For best effect, change both

For fitting, see my handy guide

Or a cheaper way whilst saving for your induction kit is to remove the resonator

A twin dump down pipe along with a mid and back box from Scoobymania did the trick for me.

Scoby - the downpipe gives a lovely whistle as others have already said. I have also just had KnN induction fitted, now get whistle and huge (and I mean HUGE) whoosh of air intake (sounds like 10 dump valves)

Fast Bloke & Chiark - having fitted the KnN stuff, feels like the car takes half a second or so to pick up, do you have to alter the fuel going in to compensate for the extra air?? I don't know if I am imagining this, I did disconnect the ecu for about 1.5 hours after fitting the KnN. It did get better after the ecu reset. any help on this would be appreciated.

thanks

Downpipe will give u loads of turbo whistle, then get sc sport mid section , Blitz induction , Blitz sequentual dump valve and your laughing. But dont forget to drive the last mile home on tickover cos the neighbours dont like it ! i know !! slightly deaf Graham.
