MG MGF Technical - TF 160 mods

Ok I know there's been some talk about disconnecting the chip for the exhaust valve but any suggestions for improved performance or engine noise?

Is there anything availble to give me either a bit for perfomance or improved engine sound i.e. growl.. I've tried the exhaust mod and didn't really do anything for me...

James,
Replace the AirFilter assembly for one of the Cone filter arrangements KN or PiperCross offerings, replace the exhaust, but as you are still in warranty period, I doubt if that would be such a good idea. A pipercross replacement panel filter is about as much as you can get away with, no noise but possibly a slight power improvement (and I do mean slight), I fitted one recently, and either it was the cold weather or something but my 160 seemed to breathe easier with it fitted.

Even a cone filter is relatively easy to take off come service time.

Mike Satur has a foam air filter element on his web site for the 160 airbox.
