V6 intake sound
V6 intake sound
Whattup, ive got a cone filter on my stock intake tube and it sounds pretty good, not like honda loud, but its got a nice smooth growl. I had the same set up on my RS with the maf, and it wasnt near as loud. My question is this....if i was to get rid of the stock tube and adapt some sort of metal intake tube from another car would it be louder? Im no expert in enginerring but something leads me to believe that the little resonators(ridges) on the stock tube help to muffle intake noise. Not only the ridges, but the big ole "horn" thing that is hooked to the stock tube. Has anyone heard a GS with a cone filter on a stock tube compared to a metal intake tube?? Thanks..

Re: V6 intake sound
I've tried both and am using a pipe right now....I can't say I noticed a difference in engine sound except that now I distinctly hear the sucking of air sound alot more.

Sweet, thanks..Thats what i was hoping. Im going to get a metal tube here soon enough if not for sound or air flow, then looks at least.

Re: V6 intake sound
im not sure if you know already, but that "horn thing" i THINK youre talking about is your VAF. that has to stay there, your car may start, but it will run like **** and you wont be able to drive it anywhere lol. just any fyi in case you didnt know, not trying to be an *** lates

Re: V6 intake sound
its about the same. the metal piping sounds a little louder imo. im using the stock rubber and a down pipe cuz i dont usually drive on the freeway and the metal one is more likely to get heat soak.

nooo not quite. The horn thing is a big ole plastic thing that resembles a horn. The vaf desnt resemble a horn, at least not to me. If you look on a stock tube you cant miss it.

I think you're refering to the air resonator. It's a plastic tube that points down beside the disty to a dead end. Is that what you mean?

Re: V6 intake sound
Yes i believe air resonator would make sense. Regardless of the name, if you saw it you would know exactly what im talking about. It's the only odd shaped, big, most out of place looking thing on the intake tube.<p>[ May 22, 2003: Message edited by: mx3man83 ]</p>

Re: V6 intake sound
If you take that air resonator off and plug the hole, it will definately increase intake sound. I recently did it and it made a difference in sound.
