Default First Mods..........

I've just ordered my first mods after going to Bolney and getting the bug for it!!! Went for an HKS exhaust in the end due to a quite good price and a few people have said it is quite good and a Spoon CAI!!!! Getting fitted on Saturday, so I will hopefully be heard from a little way away now!!!!

Did anyone who has the HKS notice any performance increases? Throttle response etc.

The HKS looks damn and sounds lovely - enjoy it. Performance increase is negligible as it's quite a restrictive design.

You will get differing opinions on that one. I recently read a post from a US HKS owner who got a 4bhp dynoed decrease, but I think some people may have had an equally small increase. I wouldn't get hung up about it as long as you enjoy the noise!

Very true. I doubt I'd be able to notice a 4bhp increase or decrease anyway!!!!!!!

I have not heard it, so as long as it sounds good I'll be well !

Getting both fitted free aswell, so abit of a bonus!!!
