induction kit for 430??
i have been looking for an induction kit for my 430 'cos there no point having 8 cylinders without letting everyone know about it?
has anyone fitted anything either kit or custom to their car?
all i can find is replacement k+n elements but nothing more exotic?
also any thoughts on a louder exhaust?

Ive seen a guy that custom built an intake with a heat shield and a cone filter. If you dont want to do fabricating, Evosport is in the process of building a cold air intake that should be pretty good. As far as exhaust, I have the Eisenmann Racing Exhaust, and i love the sound, deep and throaty. RBTech is loud, but in my opinion way too loud. I also had a Remus that was much too quiet for my liking. Brabus sounds good too, but for less than $600, Eisenmann is in my opinion the best deal, as they offer 3 different styles depending on how loud you want it. Im sure other people on this board can give you more information on other brands. Hope that helps.

as far as air intake and cone filters are concerned... u should try contacting DEMON TWEEKS in the UK. They have fantastic offers on parts and accessories!
eg. K&N filter should cost around GBP 47.00

Ben will answer this question for you im sure, but my assumption would be that they will use an ITG Filter, which in my opinion is better. (K&N lets a fair amount of dirt through) Im also waiting for this intake system, i hope the price is reasonable

Yes
That was my assumption also, would that change my conclusion about K&N? The only experience i have with them was the drop in replacement filters, and they performed well but let dirt through. I guess i dont know which cone filter is better, im pretty sure they used an ITG cone filter for their BMW intake.
