I found NissanDoc's old skyline
Glad to see it still looks in good shape. He's removed the tints from the front windows I see.0 -

If the exhaust is a Miltek resonated it's not gonna be very loud GW
Also was out washing my car by the light of the moon with that new Meguars car wash and it's awesome, had to call it quits at 20 past 8 as it got pitch black after washing alloys and giving exhaust pipes a good scrub, clay bars and 38 euro bottle of wax will have to wait for another day 0 -

Outside of the induction sound dampening, the bigger the engine (and or turbo/remap etc) the more the induction sound will change as it pulls in more air. For sure increased airflow (panel filter) will change induction sound noticeably.. view it in reverse, if your airfilter was dirty and restricting flow, do you not agree the airflow and therefore induction noise would sound different?MetzgerMeister wrote: »Are you sure it's not a placebo effect? :P
These panel filters all say "5bhp increase" or whatever but they don't. I had one in the RX8 and in the MPS but neither felt faster nor sounded louder at all.ShadowHearth wrote: »Air filters add feck all hp. You are lucky if it will leave same amount hp in your car, after "upgrade". Good few cars lose hp with those performance filters.
If you do go that route, you need a proper whole upgrade and remap after.
Well, its not that cut and dry, you are painting a load of different intake modifications with the same brush there. ""Cold air intakes" and induction bypass kits do tend to reduce HP (as they are sucking in hot air, "noisey" air flow etc), however a drop in panel filter into a cars existing intake system will not reduce HP unless it flows less freely or there is another factor (fueling, as below).
How much air does a K&N panel flow over a stock OEM type paper filter? Quite a bit actually, but at the cost of also allowing (much) more dirt through. though outside of Industry this isnt much of a concern in a non-dusty region like Ireland. Here we should be more worried about water soak on paper filters.
This is "the test" on Air Filters, from an Industry, no-marketing point of view: http://www.billswebspace.com/AirFilterTest.htm
If you increase airflow and get the same BHP, then you have insufficient fueling as your MAF will monitor the increased flow and IDC will increase to accomodate (ie you dont "need" a remap, even on ancient engines). A good example of a car with insufficent fueling stock would be the 850CSi, it has the exact same fueling as an 850i but 25% more power. Power isnt free, increasing the airflow on an 850CSi usually leads to a reduction in power (which people incorrectly blame K&N etc for), but its a telltale a sign the fueling is off. My CSi doesnt have these problems.. :cool:0 -

It's a non resonated exhaust jim, still not loud enough lol!0 -

if the simota for your car is like the stock system like mine is then its as good as can be really. ill try take a video tomorrow of the noise but it usually never comes out good. google the kit and see did any gti owner put one on his and give a review. i put lots of research into kits before i chose this one, dont rush into it

Just been googling and can't find much, just people saying go Carbonio, itg and forge etc etc etc. Prob is, I know sweet fcuk all bout this so it's hard to even understand what I'd be getting from it! I'll do some research anyway.
All I want is a touch more of a rasp lol!0
