Took a little while longer as I’m no mechanic! Well constructed in premium materials, clear instructions (once read a few times over!!), and cleans up the engine nicely!!
Very happy and would recommend!! Oh and if you don’t mind getting your arms dirty I managed to install without removing a wheel!

Fitted this morning and driven most of the afternoon after running in for 20 miles .. definitely picks up qwicker, no throttle lag and feels like more torque being produced and super charger sound now insane .. no lights on dashboard and well done Imran I'm well happy with result

The noise and throttle response is incredible, totally transforms the experience inside the cockpit. I would highly recommend it, I had it fitted professionally, as it was a bit out of my experience level. But very happy with the result.

It sounds brilliant, hard acceleration with roof off through a tunnel is pure race car. Love it.
Niels L.
Great sound and easy to install!
Darren N.
Fantastic purchase, relatively easy to install and what my Exige S was always missing -‘Supercharger noise and a little more Performance ‘
Lee W.
Great bit of kit. Had to sus out the exhaust valve on the 380 so did a video to help others out

I previously installed the SSC air intake kit when this one was sold out, but have given the Alias23 kit a good thrashing this weekend; Imran's kit is a far more straightforward fitment, sturdier in the engine bay and most importantly of course it gives tonnes of induction noise which neither the stock airbox or SSC kit do. I have a full 2bular system installed as well (headers, y-pipe, HJS cat and track/road backbox) which is a very loud system overall but, even so, with this intake there is audible supercharger whine all the way from the middle of the rev range upwards which really adds to the experience. I can't comment on power increase (or decrease!) as I have an un-tuned stock ECU, however I have had no CELs with either intake kit or my exhaust system (have been running 2bular and SSC intake for around a year) so clearly the stock ECU can adjust as necessary.

Kit arrived earlier than expected. Next day followed instructions very straightforward,fitted and running two hours tops,bit lumpy to start with but just let it do it's thing. Later took it out to run it in 50 mile round trip,few miles from home opened it up woah!!! I've had this car for 9 years now seriously cannot believe the difference.
Thank you.

This has transformed my Exige 350! Whilst the intake looks great, the sound now from the supercharger whine is outstanding - can't believe the difference it has made. Throttle response is much improved, and the car feels quicker on the track. Installation was straightforward, with very clear instructions. I took my time to make sure everything was right, but still less than a couple of hours. Thanks for a fab product Imran. Very impressed and highly recommended.

The quality of the product is very good and I received it earlier than expected!
Installation is relatively simple with the instructions provided, it saves a lot of space in the engine bay, but more importantly liberates the air intake.
The engine seems to adapt correctly, I didn't get any fault code by letting the ECU learn (idle for 10min, then no load the first few miles).
The change is impressive, you can now hear the supercharger and it's really nice. The reactivity during the revival or more generally the throttle response is really improved.
Regarding a possible power gain, I have the feeling that there is a significant one (maybe 30/40hp), it's even sure, but I didn't measure it.

Great high-quality product, it has really transformed the induction sound and supercharger whine on my 350.
The instructions were excellent too, I managed to fit without jacking and removing the wheel arch.
James H.
Installed it myself took couple of hours following instructions carefully.
Ran it in as guided. You could hear engine breathing which is more assuring than no sound as stock.
Then put foot down and wow the removal of restricted OEM air box make massive difference engine much more free revving and acceleration definitively faster than with stock. Sounds amazing.
Andrew M.
Frees up space in the engine bay, removes bulky air box. Subtle charger whine on heavy load but not too loud. Nice simple design and a doddle to install.

I managed to buy the very last air intake (about six weeks ago) but due to life getting in the way only just managed to install it this weekend. The install was very easy thanks to the detailed guide and everything went smoothly.
I let the car idle on my drive for 10 minutes as advised and went for a steady 20 mile drive with no issues or error lights. I then started to build up the revs on the 20 mile trip back home until getting to full throttle and what a noise from the supercharger. Me and my son had a massive smile on our faces and not only that the throttle response (something I had forgotten would chnage) transforemd the car completely.
Thank you for making this intake. I love my exige even more now.
Moris I.
Hi, is there any chance to take an order soon?
Ricky C.
Well what more can I say that the others haven't already? :) What a product and what a difference this has on opening up the supercharger whine! It's addictive! Throttle response is improved and I'm sure the stock exhaust on my Sport 350 is louder and gruntier too. This is such an excellent mod/upgrade!
James F.
OEM+ finish, looks great, sounds brilliant and has had many track miles now with not a single fault.
Matthew S.
Brought the Induction kit off the back of the other reviews I read. Delivery was quick and to my door. Had it fitted by Central Lotus in Nottingham and the performance and sound left me extremely happy. Thanks again
Raphael L.
Love the minimalistic look of the intake design. Great quality and seductive sound!
Darren P.
Awesome bit of kit , can definitely feel throttle response is better and the supercharger whine is ohhhhh myyy god , had it fitted same time as my 2bular exhaust , outstanding combination love it
chris c.
Really nicely made product. Definitely gives a better induction noise and throttle response
Great product

This thing is awesome. It's the single-best mod I've made to my Exige V6. The V2 pipe seems to make the car pop on upshifts, and having tested it in 40 degree heat on a 3400 mile trip around Spain in August 2020, I can confirm it's exceptionally durable, and showed no fault codes at all. The car has very solid power throughout the rev-range, and feels very linear all the way to the top end.
Mr B.
Cracking piece of kit, very well put together, easy instructions even for a novice like me.
On the car the supercharger noise is more pronounced and the mid range punch is something else, a very worthwhile upgrade that can be removed easily on sale if needed.
Ask anyone who has one, no one says they wished they had not done it - well done Imran.

My air Intake kit and silicone induction elbow arrived to me in good time, and upon opening the packaging, I was greeted with a well packed product and clear instructions. Each component provided displays quality, and I was particularly impressed with the crackle finish of the intake pipe. Just the 'OEM+' product I was after.
If one wanted some extra hints and tips, over and above what's provided, Alias23 has an up-to-date website and informative youtube channel where the products are demonstrated. I also have every faith that if I needed it, I would be able to get specific queries answered directly from the supplier. An advantage of a small home-grown parts developer, catering specifically for our vehicle.
With that said, the boxed instructions were perfect, and I believe anyone with basic tools and confidence to complete minor jobs on their car can fit the kit with ease (any Lotus owner, essentially). Given the correct access around the car, and small hands, I was able to make the job a little easier by avoiding having to remove the nearside wheel and arch liner. After what was a very straight forward installation and a small amount of fine adjustment to adjust position, I was left with a very smart looking intake kit, and a heap of heavy and convoluted OEM intake system removed from the car. It's no wonder the car sounds so muted as standard when you see what is removed!
Be very careful to complete the 10mins or so of idling the instructions insist on before you take the car out for a road test. I understand this will avoid a MIL light illuminating before the ECU has had the chance to adjust to the new intake. Once I had done this, I was able to take the car out for a drive to make sure everything was as it should be, and see what the fuss really was about!
I needn't have had any concerns, as the intake kit really has given the car a massive amount of character inside the cabin, without any additional noise from the outside (great for regular track drivers). On small throttle openings, the additional 'gulping' noise is evident from shorter airpath, but, I guarantee you won't be ready for the laugh-out-loud reaction you or your passenger will make when you put your foot down. Any Series 2 Exige owner will be familiar with the banshee supercharger whine emitted from those cars. As a past S2 owner myself, I was really please to hear this crazy noise is realised with the Alias23 Exige V6 S3 intake kit. The drama unleashed really is something, and I never fail to have a smile on my face as I'm encouraged to give the engine a proper workout just to hear the sound from the new intake. It's given my Exige a whole new character after (at time of fitting) 4 years of ownership.
Away from the noise itself, I am absolutely convinced the car feels more spritely, which appears to be evidenced from other owners' experiences from independent dyno tests. I didn't buy this kit for additional power, but I'm very happy to confirm better throttle response and urge from the car. I'd put good money my Exiges is putting out healthy power, at least now making book figures (these cars notoriously test as under what Lotus claims).
The product is clearly a labour of love, and represents a huge amount of development from Alias23. I'm more than happy to reap the rewards from their efforts, and I place this kit high up on the 'bang for buck' ratio. I have now seen that this product has been improved further with a V2 iteration, typical of the perfection Imran is after from any of his products.

Love it...feels faster, brings a awesome supercharger sound and a clean engine bay with less weight.
