Sorry Rob, missed this, got a busy week on at the moment.

Its not intrusive at all. You can't hear it in the cabin. Wind your window down and give it some beans up the road, then you can hear it. It will only make sound under hard acceleration.

Cruising on the motorway, its just as it is without one.

Basically its a nice induction noise only under acceleration. Its not like you've got Simba the Lion under your bonnet all the time.

Thanks for the review Z, I may go for that then I had reservations about it as I had a Pipercross induction kit on my Mini for all of about a month before the sound pi**ed me off and I took it off!

Carbonio is nice, but Dbilas is sooo much better, especially with a non-resonated exhaust system, mmmm nice, and yes I have a beard....

Dbilas is nice but its a full intake system, so you lose the engine cover essentially and its mega bucks, at around £100 more than the Carbonio.

Not knocking it at all, but you need to give all the info to people, especially if you have a beard.

I've gone for the Carbonio Intake Kit, but its effectively a panel filter with a Carbon cold air intake, instead of the factory cold air intake. Gives the car a nice growl under boost.

However, if you want just a panel filter, then they are easy to replace.

RED: Detach any pipe clips attached to the engine cover, dead easy they just unclip or pop open.

GREEN: Detach the lead from the MAF, the MAF is top left hand side of the engine cover as shown. The plug can be a bit awkward, if i remember correctly its got like a little bit you must push in as you pull to release it.

YELLOW: Give the engine cover a good hard tug upwards, and i mean a good hard tug, it will be well seated on its rubber grommets.

You legend! Thanks for this. I had to put all my faith in this thread to pull the engine cover off! Nicely cleaned up now.

Will be looking at Pipercross or K&N, but would you say Carbonara is worth the extra £130? I do like pasta but want to avoid having a proper CAI Kit (such as Twintake or ITG). They are the bomb, but will be going Bluefin fishing instead of fulltime Revo/APR)...
