I'll take a video shortly. If I'm honest I can't really hear it because of my exhaust and dump valve. I took a stroll up a fast road at about 60mph and I could hear it clearly sucking all the air in and it sounded sick!

You sure you've got a dump valve mate? You've still got the stock recirc valve pipe work going into the inlet?

Also having a new windscreen fitted in the next hour or so due to a bad chip.

You got a pic of the valve? Should be near the throttle body.
I think you might just be getting the noise of the recirc valve through the filter which of course sounds awesome

 

[Buller]

No idea where to find that! My cars only getting about 25-28mpg on the onboard computer and im not booting it everywhere. Any ideas?

I think your right about that as ours done that when we had the iduction kit on

 

[Buller]

Does it get warm?

Yes easily.

So if there isnt a dump valve on it, could that noise be coming from something else thats been modified? Could this be effecting the MPG?

No, recirc valves and dump valves dont affect mpg.
And the only reason you can hear it is because of the induction kit, thats what the stock recirc valve sounds like.
The stock airbox takes the noise away completely.
