stock airboxes

[ecl]

heya all

due to utter boredom at work today, i went downstairs and took the cover off my stock airbox.

went for a spin and the induction sound was very loud. now i have a couple of quick questions:

1) more sound = more air goin in right?

2) as the lid had been taken off, insulation has decreased allowing more hot air in, does this have any negative effects other than poor performance?

I put the lid back on now due to the hot weather

Thanks

Eric

more sound doesn't = more air going in, it could mean different things, bad airflow not going in smooth, the entry is closer to the ****pit so louder etc..

G'day Eric,

The only real effect of taking of the air box is more heat will get in from the engine/turbo and your panel filter will probably get dirty. You should get a pod filter with a cold air box.

How was your drive back from Terrigal, I think I lost everyone on the way back.

heya, michael right?

thanks for the info

drive back was pretty good, though i was also by myself, accompanied by ALOT of holdens lol =|

had a bit of traffic though, thought some idiots had an accident up ahead but lucky it wasnt it =)

Yeah I saw that comodore or something with a trailer on in the bushes on the way back, but the traffic wasnt too bad it kept moving. That was so much fun cruising up the mountain from Gosford.

Are you gonna get that exhaust for your car?

yes, the turboback is a must before end of the year

goin to have a look at xforce and custom ones

not too expensive and i hear they are pretty good quality and performance

just need to wait for my next paycheck lols =)

edit: prolly not worth much, but how much you reckon i can sell the stock system for?

[LANFOH]

Good question? Dont know? Might be a good idea to keep in case you get defected. If you really want to sell I reckon maybe like $500 for the full system is reasonable. Yeah you gotta get that dump pipe and the xhaust so you can get that 6 cylinder howl!!!!!!!!!! Im sooo ****n bored :headspin: :headspin:

ahhahaa yer...

hmm. defect.. as long as its under 90 db wouldnt be a prob would it? is there an add on silencer i can get lol?

but then again, they can get you for it either way

me stuck at work also =(

at least nearly home time hahaha

[siksII]

the xforce ones are claimed to be legal (less then 90db) according to their listings on ebay.

they come witha n adjustable silencer which makes them a defect itself but i think if removed the silencer alltogether it would become illegally loud.
