So I took my OEM airbox off tonight... I fancy fitting some noisy air filters if I can find some second hand (or even an adaption pipe as I have some filters in my loft)

 

I took all the pipe work out from behind the front bumper which sits infront of the wheel arches

 

The pipework runs a very odd path... i can get pics soon

 

It seems that there is now a hole in the pipe from the Throttlebodies to where the AFM is... how will I block this? it seems very odd.

 

NASP car btw

Oh that little hole, there's a dead end isn't there as if it was turbo pipework. The very best way forward is a split intake such as the selin system, there's cheaper ways to achieve that though. You just need a big cone though, and an adapter plate.

Unlikely you'll notice a 'noisy' induction roar like you get on things like the early MPi Vauxhall and Rover engines as the intake runners are so long. You may notice a little increase on an NA, but nothing of any great value. On TT engines you can hear wastegate actuation or rather, flutter a little more.

It's not a dead end by the looks of it... it looks like it feed back into the airbox... I'll get photos.

 

hard to explain

judging by the mighty car mods episode and every NASP car I've had - i doubt i'd get nay hp... but maybe the position of the filters means i could. If im not going to get some grunty noise then tbh i'll just re-fit the OEM box
