Information on induction kits for the Lotus Evora and 2012 Lotus Exige S.

The standard Lotus Evora and Exige S induction system is taken directly from the Toyota RAV4 and features a large air-box. This is quite restrictive and in the normally aspirated Evora people have reported that combined with changes to the exhaust system power can be increased to around 300bhp.
