Air Filters

[d0p3y]

Yo,

When i've got my car up and running, i'd like to have a pod or panel filter for the benefits - i know it doesnt gain much power but it makes the engine run a bit better etc, with noticable changes in the power band (so im told). I'd like a bit of the noise, but i don't want it to be heaps loud and noticable. Is there any way to keep the pod/panel filter but make it a little quieter? Will an airbox reduce the "WHOOOOOOOOOOSH" sound? if i were to put it in an airbox, how much would it effect the filters performance?

Okay i think i've worked it out. I'm going to make a sealed airbox, with the pod inside, except i'm going to have cold air induction piping stuff going into the front of the airbox from the front bumper to feed the box a heap of cold air. It should make it alot quieter, without effecting the pods performance TOO much, yes?

yes... that is prolly right, i have a CAI, as you prolly seen in somewhere... it seems to go better, revs more freely, and like, even with your ear youc an hear it doesnt stresss as much

Ryan, a sealed box with CAI is gonna make the car run better than just having the pod sitting in the engine bay........

But you prolly wont be able to hear the whoosh at all.......unless you get a VL turbo
