lcr Relocation pipe NOISE

[slim20vt]

hi people
im thinking of buy a forge relocation d/v kit for my lcr,i have d/v simlar to the forge007.

at the moment i have a 57i k&n fitted and the recirclating d/v gives a lovely echo from the induction kit... (love this sound?

what i want to no is if i buy the relocation kit?
will moving the d/v change the sound? ie make it less noise ?
or will the sound level stay the same? meaning i get that lovely echo whoosh?

please help???????????????

i've just fitted one of these but on a 180bhp Leon, from my experience, turbo spool up is a bit louder and the DV is slightly more audible from outside and sounds a little different

anyone else?

I have the relocation kit with a 007 and a green panel filter.
Inside with windows up you can hear the air rush through the extended pipework just as loud but a slightly different noise.
But with passenger window down it seems more audible outside the car.
Some people slate relocation kits but i have no leaks and the valve is touchable after driving, looks good too

thanks that helps alot, would you say you can feel a difference in power, smoothness, torque? little bit?

I've got the relocation kit with the forge splitter-R and it has if anything made it sound louder. Not sure on whether it made car smoother as the clutch was on its way out when I fitted it so couldn't really give it a good test. But seems to be fine now clutch has been replaced

Ok what about throttle response or turbo spool?

 

[Ronin225]

Spool seems the same throttle response better but this was done at the same time as N249 bypass so cant really tell if or by how much
