debaffled charge pipe

[wayne lcr]

it must do somthing or improve somthing or it will be pointless doing it

I fail to see how this would make any noticiable difference.

It's all about improving flow and removing the baffle I presume would do it, I have the forge and it reduces lag by about 50rpm.

I remain sceptical.

yip been on for about a year and cant say i've noticed any diference

Cool mate, this goes at the bottom of the list

Why would it be baffled in the first place if it reduced power, surely there is a reason for it being there?

To reduce turbo noise, apparently at the cost of 0.05bhp . I could be wrong of course but a couple of guys on here (t0m & Coops) had back to back (I think) AMD dyno's with the same mods apart from Coops had a Forge Charge Pipe, t0m had an OE Charge Pipe. I think Coops made 305bhp & t0m made 301bhp but that's dyno figures which can be inaccurate at times & vary...so who know's . Personally I love the whine of the turbo so for a free DIY mod I'd have a go.

i'm going to have a bash at this at the weekend.

Theres a video on youtube (ill try n link it) that talks about how resonators and baffled silencers work.

The math actually works out that a baffled pipe has better air flow over a solid pipe.

it starts about 20:43 on the video, he's talking about and exhaust muffler, but i suppose the principle is the same.
