Pod Filter, making it louder?

[Hybrid34]

Just want to know if theres anyway of making the airflow sound louder? at all? i was driving my car to night n it sounded alright when u take the gas off quickly n makes that Shh noise....anyway 2 make it loudEr????

[Christiaan]

yeh. chuck a turbo on it.

[EDXR6T]

Buy a whistle.

[DEVL-XR]

Get an exhaust, extractors and gutted cats. or you could just rip the exhaust off from the cats and it'll be loud......and sound like a truck.

[The Dok]

Gee some real constructive input there guys............try driving with the LH windows down, that'll make it easier to hear

[Hybrid34]

haha yes yes, thers a few ways i could do it, whistle sounds the go, but serioulsy is there anyway of making that louder? or is that as loud as it goes?

[DEVL-XR]

haha. so you have a pod filter on they eh? normally they're pretty loud when there un boxed, although this is "Illegal". Mines boxed, i'm yet to fibreglass the bottom half properly yet, but i put duck tape around the wholes for a test and I cant hear it at all now.
you could try ebmanuls way and have it under the wheel arch, should be loud then i'd expect.

[Hybrid34]

hmm..maby theres somthing wrong with my car :O!?!?
I can hear it faintly as i take off, or hear a quick sucking sound when i take off the accelerator quickly, and its unboxed, but with the intake tube hanging over the top of it.

Pod doesn't have to be boxed in Vic to be legal just as long as its secured and not loose.

[Tiga_EL]

Correct me if im wrong, i was under the impression that pod filters anyhow were illegal?

[335JET]

mine is not boxed, and its loud as

[Hybrid34]

na pod's arn't illegal, bovs are..

[Aaron_EF8]

exposed pod filters ARE illegal.

I reckon the best way to do it would be to spin the manifold around 180deg, so the TB is facing the firewall, then cut a hole in the firewall, run a piece of 3" PVC pipe to the cabin and mount the pod off that.

[nat_daly]

custom induction ftw!

[JUZXR8]

i was thinking of running a dual pod setup myself, having one in the engine bay and another in the wheel arch, and then getting an exhaust shop to weld up some piping to run it all. u could try that, wouldnt be too hard or expensive.

[Clarke AV]

NO filter

[FRDXR6]

A Vic police officer told me the following about pod legalties, could be different to other states. A pod is legal if it is;

1. Secured (not just attatched to the end of intake pipe but secured with bracker etc)
2. Not an oiled type
3. The only from of induction modification (i.e. can have a pod OR an intercooler but not both).

Firstly, make sure you know the facts before advising others. they may be illegal in your state, but in vic, they are perfectly legal. and anyone who wants to argue the fact...

Just to proove you all wrong!

section 1.b

i see a thread arising...

[castek]

i've put a pod in the factory air box, cant seem to feel a difference. you can hear it with the bonnet up, but normal driving, its barely audible. i put on a CAI the other day and its slightly louder, but meh. pods are for **** factor if you ask me.
if you wanna use a pod, just whack a shaker on with a pod straight off your TB into the shaker, true CAI

[LUXO_8]

fully sik!

Well there you go, I stand corrected.

(damn, not a very exciting thread now :P )

Just put a papertype air filter direct onto the TB, it will sound like a supercharger, and be nice and LOUD

what airbox are u running? just the standard EL one? if so how did u mount the pod inside the box?

[castek]

yeh the std one. i just took the adaptor off the lid of the box. mounted the pod onto the end of the standard intake pipe. took off the bolts which hold the pipe into place and put the lid on.

[vibr8r]

...eh?

[Hybrid34]

i dun want to sound dumb but..wats a ' TB' and how do u get a paper air filter:S? on it?...
oh what i did wiht my Pod is have it in the engine bay, and use the existing factory tube that leads from the front of the car over the box..(still with me?) so the pod has cooler air going into it...

[EA2BA]

TB = Throttle Body

So, remove the tube completely and mount the air filter direct onto the TB.

Paper type is just non-oiled, can be had for as little as $5 sometimes from autobarn etc.
