Im not too sure on the induction or just a drop in filter.. havent decided yet... yes a big noise is good, but i dont want MPG to go down .. as im currently only getting ~280miles on a tank

mpg will hardly be effected. it will be because your revving it to hear the noise!!!lol

i have one on my tdi, one the turbo kicks in makes a really nice sound. i'll try and get a video up soon.

I get 280 from a full tank with the induction kit on my 1.2 so prob won't make much of a difference. As the others said you give it some beans to hear the noise

so its up to how conservatively you drive really.

Just ordered a carbon fibre style grille n i wanna get it lowered aswell. It's my first car anyway so probly not any big changes. But def. gunna get an induction kit. Im pretty happy with the way it looks, it's just i think 9n's need sumthing doin with the grille. Which is probly why i see so many people get badgless or chrome grilles or woteva.
