Whooooooosh!

greatest sounds ever! apart from the boxer rumble!

 

i am planning to get a perrin panel filter installed, I hear that we can get some whoosh out of them =] and some performance

A Air intake will give you a whooooosh for sure, but they don't really increase performance much and they even can lean you out to dangerous levels without a tune so be causious.

 

A BOV will give you alot of whooooosh as well. the VTA give you the most but make you run rich, recirulated will help the car run better and add some whoooosh, and easy bolt on addition to give you great sound.

panel filter alone wont add much whoooosh noise. If you take the intake silencer out as well you will hear more turbo/BPV noises

 

I took out the intake resonator / silencer (located under the filter box, in the front quarter panel) and installed a K&N filter. It sounds pretty nice, but I don't know if this is enough air to make it too lean. If someone knows if doubling the amount of air requires a tune, give a shout back. I may gain 1 HP or 2 (I have no idea what HP gains, if any would happen).

I went with a Perrin drop in. You definitely hear the whoosh. Only thing, its soaked in oil. After 6 months, I had to clean the MAF-it was covered. I might grab a dry hiflow filter

For sure, I havent bought it yet. I might be buying it soon.

Maybe consider AVO rather than Perrin filter.

 

AVO is washable but not oiled.

I have a perrin short ram intake currently for sale. Makes a lot of whoosh sound. asking 150 plus shipping, less than 1000 miles on it. They go new for 175.00 and up.

The avo filter is definitely a good buy. Don't have to worry about cleaning the oil, just wash with soap and it's good to go.

I would act on it but I dont have enough for a TUNE =/

ive been running it stock, and logging a bit, not lean at all. the car will adjust for it a bit, optimal performance gains will come from a tune.

Ya right now I'm running my SPT short ram with Stg 1 from Cobb so it doeesn't incorporate the intake. No problems running lean (I still plan on getting a custom map to include the intake) so for the short time mine has and will be that way is no worries for me.

 

Can't attest to others, but my SPT sounds sensual. I can hear that thing eating air whenever I step on the throttle, its great.

bump, still have mine for sale.

You over-oiled it. I've had the K&N drop-in filter since 2005 and I've never had a MAF issue. Don''t be ins such a rush.

They do, but unfortunately sounding good is all they're good at.

^Yup. It also gives you some horsepower. But not because it is more efficient...it just looks better under the hood.... +15 Rice HP

Intake Silencer Delete and Panel Mount/Drop in is the best way (without a tune) to get whooooooooooosh. Its when you start running short rams and complete intake systems that you need to run a tune. Same with BOV's... people end up taking them off and running with the stock one since it works the best. Ask any specialist on here who has done a BOV, most will tell you they put their stock one back on

Lol, yeah, rice horsepower is about right. I unloaded my SPT intake after a few months for a Cobb intake and was pleasantly surprised with the results. No turbulence over the MAF sensor, much lower intake charge temps, etc.

Sigh, that would be me, I ended up selling the BOV for the price I bought it for fortunately and put my stock BPV back on.

actually, I didn't oil it at all. It comes pre-oiled.

What do you run in the summer for intake temps? I'm curious of the difference from the SPT to Cobb...

Yikes!

K and N this weekend guys.

will I really get any performance upgrades? My car is hogzausted but I feel like it slowed down hahaha

I honestly can't remember the exact numbers anymore, I did my comparison back in fall 08, but the average difference was between 10-15 degrees depending on ambient temp and vehicle speed. At highway speed it was closer to 10 degrees, in traffic it was around 15 degrees cooler. I'd offer to do a comparison now, but I sold the AP and the intake is chilling in a box in my basement.

I did the same thing. LOVE THE SOUND!

 

I also think that it wouldn't lean it out too much. The stock ECU can compensate for a panel filter that is placed inline with the stock box without the resonator.

Nice that's a pretty big difference. Wait, your Cobb one is sitting in the basement or the SPT one you took off? I would probably buy your cobb if its sitting in your basement and you want to get rid of it. Feel free to PM me.
