I’m going to buy an induction kit to compliment my Stage 2 exhaust.
I’m I correct in assuming that they all do pretty much the same job, giving the same level of induction noise and a marginal increase in power, be it ITG, Pipercross, Reverie etc. Is this the case?

So, you’re not going to be doing any trackdays? That’s a shame
my pipercross is LOVELY. it goes BANG (literally) everytime the cam changes to the power profile. VERY reassuring esp on the motorway. highly recommended!!

Only do Oulton and Anglesey in the car (club race/trackday bikes for thrills) and I’ve not seen anybody struggle with noise testing at Oulton so I’m not too concerned. Do you think I should be?

Get the bloody thing on track, Mway driving must be the most boring thing ever, of the whole Exige owning experience
I’ve had no problems with stage 2 & ITG at Brands Hatch.
and I’ve not seen anybody struggle with noise testing at Oulton so I’m not too concerned. Do you think I should be?
I’ve seen quite a few cars fail the test at Oulton over the past 3 or 4 years - including Rover powered Exiges with Janspeed & de-cat.
Unfortunately, not very many S2s seem to get out on track, but those I’ve seen, have not been stage 2 & induction kit (apart from 1 at Donny last year, which was out on a dealer day - told to short shift down the straight otherwise it’d be kicked off. I drove it for a few laps that day, & to be honest, I found the noise quite irritating/unpleasant - not necessarily the volume, but the pitch. It was also very “boomy” at Mway cruising speeds).
I find myself hanging in 5th gear on the m/way with the stage 2 exhaust as the drone is far too much in top gear. It seems to sit happier in 5th upto 85-90’s anyway.
Agreed, not a m/way car at all. Is it just me or does anyone else find it tiring trying to hold it in a straight line for any length of time?

You need a Larini - awesome sound at high revs, but none of the annoying boomy drone when you are on a steady throttle. Not cheap, but the best never is. Highly recommended

Have to agree on the larini,i changed from a quicksilver to the larini and the difference is amazing aside from the nicer less boomy noise the build quality is much better.
I have the Lotus stage 2 & ITG kit and think it is great.
When I only had the Stage 2 I had the same problem between 75-85mph of the pitch driving me mad. But the ITG kit smoothed that out for me.
I’m just about to get an induction kit…Was going to get the ITG but the pipercross is around a �100 less. Only thing that puts me off the pipercross is that I’ve been told it’s a bit boom compaired to the ITG…anyone know if this is the case.
Question…pipercross make two kits for the Exige S2…The Viper kit which is �250 and the Velocity Intake System which is �299…whats the difference and which is best, anyone know?
i have a pipercross + stage 2 and can confirm it goes BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM when the cams change over
as for the m/way… 150 miles between wales/london… LOVE IT
Which one have you got the �250 or �299 one…
�199.00 from B&C, not sure if I was mis-charged
Yep you were…The one they have is up for �299 plus postage. Thats the one I’ll order then, but from the Pipercross web site as postage is free. Cheers.
hehe i thought so… gotta counteract the �400 service bills somehow

I would imagine mine wouldn’t be so boomy as I only have a stage one.
