Hi all.
Got a completely bog standard 1.2 Dynamic and i've just noticed that when its a cold morning, with the windows down, you can hear she lets out a little eep of induction noise under acceleration.
Is there anyway to increase induction noise without the use of stupid, power sapping cone filters?
Many thanks

Possibly upgrade panel filter?

A panel filter wont make much difference to the noise as the factory airbox and induction piping is designed to reduce noise as much as possible.

I have a BMC panel filter in my T-jet and the difference over a paper filter is practically unnoticable.

Something like a GSR will make more noise without sucking hot air from the engine bay but i would question if its worth £200 or so just for more noise on a 1.2 as its not going to add much to the performance.

GSR all the way! I simply loved mine!

Custom made to fit ITG maxogen on mine and I love it!

Any half way decent induction kit will make more noise, and, if you stay away from K&N it won't sap power. You may find that one of the Fraud Focus ones will fit. Lots on eBay.

Whats a 2bhp loss to make it roar lol

Induction roar is such a nice noise isn't it
The best noise i've ever heard was with the k&n 57i, that completely sucks power away from you though so stay away, noise was fantastic though.

The gsr is the best option imho as it will actually add a couple extra bhp (technically speaking) doesnt sap power, and sounds good too

You could be an idiot though and drill some holes in your airbox, that would actually work

Hey guys, sorry to dig up this old thread, but i found that if you take the air feed tube that clips into the airbox off, you get a nice throaty roar on full throttle (1.2 8v) So if you wanted moar noize for free, thats how

Not sure if this has any adverse effects on MPG or engine performance but i'd assume it doesn't, didn't feel any less grunty or thirsty

Heat soak probs

was looking at K&N filter for my 1.9 Mjet, think it'll give it a ROAR over the whistle of my turbo? :slayer:

Pacora you spelt 'more' wrong

just get abit of silicone hosing and run it to a cone filter, you will fall in love with that noise haha!

rayrayli88 I have pipercross panel filter in mine and it definably makes the turbo spool more 'noticable' Cone filters on 1.9's sound like a bag of nails imo.

I fitted a cone filter on a friend 1.5 clio turbo diesel, made a very nice 'pshhhhh' when you took your foot off the accelerator

Cone filter is the way to go for best induction related noises but on na engines need to position them away from hot air with a source of cold air clearing out the air around them otherwise they will heatsoak to bits and bog all over

Oooooo.... I will defo have a look.
Where do you live? I'm going to steal your car

Got a link of what panel you have? Guessing it's a 5 sec install as well - WIN!
