hey man i got the same problem, i got a boost guage and even before boost i hear it sucking and it doses wen i let the accelerator,,dunno wats wrong?

The only way to really tone it down is to replace the factory airbox and put in a performance panel filter. Many guys are running this setup and are very happy with the results.

The factory airbox will dampen the induction noise unlike the open filter that you are currently using.

yeah gonna hav to replace my POd anyway, i just put in a fmic yesterday so im defective at the moment,, the intercooler makes a nice flutter tho :D ,, got a standard bov as well

i had the same problem, loved the sound of the pod filter to start with but after a couple weeks it got irritating. I changed it back to the factory air box but the snorkel wont fit over the intercooler pipe (still tyring to find a simple way around this)

love the sound of no pod though, can hear the turbo spinning which is much better than the sucking from the pod.

i noticed a big difference when i chucked in my FMIC and pod....the induction noise was definitely louder...now i have found its pretty simple..when accelerating dont hit any vacuum lol as i have blocked off my stock BOV it would flutter even with the slightest of vacuum....apart from putting the stock airbox back in there is nothing you would be able to do rather then with your right foot to stop the induction noise

    • Yeah I also looked at Plazmaman, but, it ended up alot  cheaper getting black ones through EFI when you also added in the delivery cost
    • Nice shot! They look super clean. The roof rack delete on the black one is interesting. Would like to see more pictures from different angles. It's subtle but could make quite a difference to how the car looks in profile.
