Green Panel Filter

[clammuncher]

Hi

Sorry if this sounds stupid. Just fitted green panel filter & Forge DV and took for a test drive. The car sounds louder than before, should this happen? Checked for leaks etc… & made sure everything was fitted correctly. Any ideas?

Cheers

Chris

it probably should be louder as you are improving air flow to the engine! sounds completely normal to me!

I'd agree, when I fitted a green panel filter and a forge dv to my 1.8t it definately became louder.

As above. You're hearing more induction roar now as air passes through the filter differently to before. It's a good thing

freer flowing filter = normal
