Curtis Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 there is two ways to get rid of the induction noise either replace the original filter for a panel filter or get hold of a induction kit calledcda bmc. if you are going induction kit route make sure you get one of those. avaid the pipercross viper its the same sort of thing but crap there more expensive than the bmc but don't peform as wellhope this helps Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Glanza_cl Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 you might have trouble fitting a bmc filter as there isnt as much room in the turbo engine bay as a n/a but Worth a try.if you are keeping the filter in the stock location it's better to have the original airbox any way so if you are keeping it in the stock location for a while i would recommend getting an uprated panel filter as you would get better gains over an open filter in the stock location Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Big_T-SR Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 does my f*cking head in lolWhat?? Some people just put the filters in FOR that sound But i suppose, each to thier own. I must admit tho, i am one of those who like it But i've heard that panel filters are actually better, because the air in the box is cooler than the air in the engine bay.. but i suppose it depends on where your air intake is setup.
