Looking to quieter my induction roar down, wondering whether making a setup where the filter is at the front of the car would help quieter things down a bit?

A bit like this but I would have the filter more to the front of the engine bay.

Do you think this would restrict my air flow? I've got a 1380, stage 3 head, 286 cam etc...

Cheers,

Why would you want to have quieter induction noise?!?!? It's the best noise you can have

Personally I'd just turn the radio up a bit

What set up do you have now.

You mention stuff but nothing about the carb(s) air filter or housing is present.

No sound deadening on my car - don't want it (weighs too much ). For short runs it's brill, 2 hours on the motorway - not so much (unless you love headaches, even with earplugs!)

At present - Hif44, Piper Cross (foam) cone filter (no air box).

Have a look at the airbox vizard made for th ehif44 and try to duplicate it. It will be a lot less noisy :)

That is the problem then. Try the old housing with a new element and the noise will reduce.

Would this be adequate airflow though? I don't mind fabricating something that links to an air filter at the front that would flow better.

Like I said, fabricate the vizards airbox. I might have a picture somwhere, it even improved torque hé said

[Stiggytoo]

Don't go drilling holes in the standard airbox because it will make more noise.

Cheers guys,

I've looked into the modified air box (Calver's http://www.minimania...aner_test__1288) and it states that the tests were done on a near standard engine. I'm wondering if this air box (even with holes) will be adequate for my modified 1380?

Also does it need to have a K&N element in it or will a standard one do? I don't fancy paying £30 - £40 to find out it's restricting it.

Apologies if this makes no sense but I'm on some lovely pain killers for my back and they are working quite nicely 😋

Ta,
Ian

This is what you want for max peformance.

TH ebest standard filter housing you can get is the one with that big snorkle on a hiff, if you want to retain the standard look

I like it!

I could fabricate one, but out of interest are these available to buy?

Cheers.

According to this post in 2009 it didn't last long, so no ... http://www.theminifo...cts-torque-ram/

Cant buy it but can make it like I did. It makes my 1330 way more fun to drive!( a bit smoother low down, less noise)
