 There are many options open to you.

Pretty much any induction kit that fits a 1.6 saxo, 106, 206, 307,306, xsara etc will fit the C4 with some messing.

So have a look around and then see how much you want to spend.

The only issue with most kits for the 1.6 is that they locate the intake filter right next to the exhaust manifold. Which means it gets heat soak on warmer days or when giving the car some stick so will likely lose power.

Want one that relocates the filter elsewhere. Can make your own up if you want to with some pipe and samco bends and a filter.

Can also buy the usual K&N kits, piper cross etc.

Tey should roar as essentially the filter is open it's just encased in a carbon fibre scoop. So helps with the heat soak from the exhaust manifold.

Add a remap and a new manifold and you could be looking at 130hp or more. Not hard for the 1.6 as typically they make more than 110hp anyway. Never seen one not make more than 110hp standard yet.

Obviously have the GSR kit like my own as well. But you are looking at around £150 - £200 for one of those.

I got the k&n for a C2 VTR when i first purchased my coupe BUT to be honest you don't really notice any differance apart from the obvious noise.
So i designed my own.

Will be getting put on Bilstein B14 coilovers in January or February. Depending on when they get into the UK. Had a bit of an issue with Bilstein and supplying them to me. However the good thing with all the issues is, I am only paying a bit over £500 for them now.

 Well I got them for £699 originally. Most people have the old inflated price. Then got given £100 cash back on them.

Due to them shipping the last kit to another supplier my kit currently does not exist yet. So since they messed up and they were ordered back in October they have knocked more money off them. So bit of a result.

Can get them for £628 now from Balance Motorsport. Which have the proper prices at the moment. Most other places are still using the old £1000 - £1200 prices they were a few months ago.

First thing your gonna need is a 90 degree bend to fit on your throttle body (which will set you back about £30 ish)
Which means the filter will sit at the side of the engine, wich is never good...
