Hurricane

Post by Gareth » Fri Dec 09, 2005 10:43 am

The famous question.....are they any good?
I'm hanging over the "Add to Cart" button on elise parts but unsure if they are worth it.

If the S2 airbox is as restrictive as made out surely fitting a hurricane will simplify things?

So, yes or no?

TBH, i wished i had just got a set of DTHTB's as they actually give a horse power increase, and you cant hear my ITG over the exhaust noise so it was just a waste of money. it only gives you 2 bhp if your lucky so whats the point, i'd have been better going on a diet.

Aye, but an ITG is what - couple o hundred quid? Hurricaine even cheaper...

You're looking at a grand to add DTHTB's and the Emerald (obviously, you were getting the emerald anyway) Then there's extra for a filter that fits (£350 for the scouse airbox in my case - which came with linkages, trumpets & stuff, that the TB's don't)

Like for like, old boy, like for like :D
