i would have thought most pods styles make a loud sucking noise. my hks one certainly does.

ive been told by my xr8 ute owning friend that all he can hear behind him is this tremendous sucking noise and then a howl as i rocket past hehe

i guess that means i need to remove my muffler!

they won't be able to really hear it unless the bonnet is open anyway.

they all make the woosh suction noise, just go with any.

for the record apexi filters the best, don't know sound wise.

a search should bring up alot of discussions on pod filters/panel filters... you might even find some sound clips from memory. try that.

WOW!.. your technicalities amaze me!.. :laugh:

I cont say about six cylinders.. but when i had one on my pulsar.. at about 3K it sounded similar to a rex..

strange.. I know..

cool?.. you bet!

It was some cheapo brand of filter but made a considerable difference!

i have a apexi DI dual pannel forced pod filter and it gives a considerable amount of sucking noise, but what i'd call loud! i had a FORCE FLOW pod on my vp commodore and it was so loud even on idle.

well there the best 3 filters on the market i say

wrong.

When Im home next.. Autosalong mag did a filter test.. they took something like 14 filters.. from the ceapest being $15 to the top end $180 one.

Wanna know a funny fact?.. The best over all flow and filter reading came from a cheapo one..

while that may be true cris, the best flow doesn't necessarily mean best filtration. that's the filter's job, if you want good flow then don't run anything at all.

serious? there was a thread on here showing the comparisions? apexi won?

for the record apexi filters the best

*ahem*

according to that comparison, apexi is the best compromise between flow and filtration.

      @Lithium  looking for a turbo for my Rb30. Want to make sure I understand this correctly.   If I want to stay 40psi or under my best choice of these 3 is actually the smaller G40-1150 ?

      Massive ups for MTHire also. Could not have done the subframe bushings job without hiring the tool from them. Process was super easy and cost me around 25% of the cost of the tool. If you need a one-time tool to do something, check them out. (Paid for the rental myself, no sponsorship here.)

      I'd suggest calling Unigroup, they have a lot of experience with these, access to reliable fabricators etc. Of course it will cost but at least you can trust what they tell you

      One Headlight isn't working - Driver Side Fuse Keeps blowing

      By MBS206 · Posted

      The switch part, is the switch you use to turn the lights on and off in the car.   The test I had was to determine where in the line it is, but on a quick rethink, if it's only blowing when you turn the switch on, then it's the wire from the switch, to the headlight that's got the short. Now it's a case as GTS said, of physically finding the fault. The fault could be:  metal has broken through the loom. Known as a rub through. Places to check: anywhere the wiring has been messed with in the car, particularly firewall grommets if extra cables have been passed through. Check the inner guard linings, you might be rubbing through with a wheel, particularly if the vehicle has been lowered. Also check for anywhere there could be high heat, especially if heat shields are missing. Double check any wiring at the head unit too if someone has messed with the headlight wiring to pick up a feed to dim the headlight at night. You could also just have really old cabling that is literally falling apart, though, this is more likely in Euros than in an old Nissan in my experience.

      Coolant Drain Plug on the Engine Block

      Yeah. I usually go by the torque specs. I forgot that Nissan recommends 1386b sealant on that thread, still can buy it on ebay actually.
