Simon Crewe Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 On this months front cover of Low Flying there is a car pictured in the top left hand corner, pale green with '36' on the nose cone that appears to have a custom made cover over the bonnet cut out. I have a Vauxhall powered car with TB's, a new Raceco silencer that has really quietened everything down, but the induction noise is still extremely loud. Does this solution as in the green car pictured, lower the noise level considerably? Does it have an effect on performance as the opening looks relatively modest? Any comments much appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Walker Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 Any cover over the TB`s/airfilter will reduce the noise significantly hence the R400 race cars have a blanking plate to fill the bonnet induction hole at noise sensative venues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Biddle Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 Simon, I have fitted an airbox to my VX and there is a big reduction in noise. Not that I wanted it quieter, I got it to protect the filter from the sand that blows around here. If you send me a mail I will send you a photo and details. Mike.
