Question K&N Apollo Induction Kit

Has anyone got one?

I'm about to buy one for my N/A Exige and would like some feedback on the volume etc.

Done lots of digging over here in the UK but haven't managed to find one person that's wrote anything about them!

I heard one at a recent local Dyno, not too much louder than my Cup Car airbox.

Don't expect much in the way of performance though.

Cannot hear my 2bular exhaust over the intake on 2nd cam.

Sounds like you like it!

I'll be putting one on order when my car comes back from having its brakes done. After hearing some videos of it on other cars - I'm looking forward to hearing it

I have one. The K&N intake accentuates the supercharger whine to the point that the car emits a high-pitched scream under full acceleration. Quite noticeable both inside and outside of the car.
