    'Induction kit 'knocked' together for Gul. Awesome sound.

    Decided to use some parts that I have from previous kits to 'knock' one together for Gul. Used the K & N cone that was on my R when I bought her, after a good clean and gentle re-oil, and a bracket that I have from ages ago. Left the bottom of the original airbox in place and haven't removed the bonnet insulation............yet.

    Just went for a spin and the sound has put a big grin on my face. Seems to make a lot more more noise than the Optiflow kit that's now on my R, and I will try to record it and post it up.

    My excuse is that my hands were too dirty to use my phone to take pics.....honest. I think it's more the sound than the pic in this case, so I need to do both really.

    You may have noticed that she's on Comets now, which is temporary until October or so, when the Comets will have Winter tyres fitted and go back on the R. Gul back to her Titans then. I would like to change the headlights/indicators on her as well, and after that nothing really..........

    I'll keep the originals, for if I was ever to sell her, which is doubtful.

    Volvokid posted a load last Friday after our mini Scottish meet. My Comets need a refurb, but I think still look OK on Gul.

    Things like that will not affect the price of them infact me personaly would think it would be better with a stainless exhaust

    Exactly my thinking on this. All the original parts will be kept and swapped back, if I ever come to part with her, which is not my intention.
