Hi All, Happy New Year!
I have just bought a '51plate ZT 190+ which I'm picking up on Tuesday (Can't wait - New toy!!) and I have been wondering what to do to give it a bit more character. I currently have an old 16v 220 coupe which I fitted with an induction kit and scorpion rear box (also had the suspension lowered and stiffened) so I have been thinking about doing the same to the ZT.
I think I have narrowed the options down to;
Pipercross Viper induction kit (£225 from MG-Rover.org) with 50mm Airforce cold air kit (£25) XPower Thruflow rear exhaust (£350)
There are a couple of alternatives for the exhaust such as the Milltek twin-pipe rear silencer and a 6"x4" Oval back section from Motobuild. Does anyone here have any experience of any of these? Any particular one have a power advantage over the others?
I don't want it to sound TOO boy-racer-ish, just have more oomph (Although I do enjoy seeing people turn around when they hear the coup coming!). Is the Viper kit too loud compared to the ordinary replacement Pipercross kit?
I would be interested to hear your comments and if anyone has any other suggestions feel free to pass them over.
Thanks,
Ian
PS; The ZT has to be the bargain of the century, I've picked up a 3yr old £22k car for £8k! You can just about get a ZR160 for the same money!
