Just fitted my 57i to my vRS

I've just fitted my K&N 57i kit to my Octy vRS (The Octivator), and I am very impressed.

Kit was more awkward to fit than one for my Rover 420 GSI (never forget the GSI), but relatively straightforward. The only thing I'm not happy with yet is the position of the cold air feedpipe under the front spoiler - I managed to destroy at least 2 on the Rover and this is lower. In due course I would like to get it behind one of the grills.

Change in performance is surprising, following comments I've read on these forums, with the car now far happier to rev and pulling cleanly from less than 1000rpm. Throttle also feels like it picks up sooner in its travel.

The new noise is also quite suprising, especially the 'Tsssss' when you change gear - sounds pretty menacing.

Now what can I change ?......
