Ford StreetKa induction question

[Bryank9]

Hey all,

Looking for some information regarding fitting an Induction kit on my StreetKa

Firstly is it Worth it?
Whats the point?
Pros and Cons of doing this please?

[budgie smuggler]

no real performance gain (maybe even a slight loss) but it might make it sound a bit better

Hey Budgie (lol) when you say might sound a bit better, Is that engine noise louder, or the sound emitted from the exhaust?

It'll increase induction (engine) noise but is unlikely to make any difference to exhaust noise. Noise is probably the only difference you'll notice. It will likely reduce performance a little as it will be sucking in hotter air than with the standard airbox fitted. You can get a rough idea of how it will sound by removing the air filter and top of the airbox.
