What does a cone filter sound like on a diesel

[Dobby]

Hello everyone,

I have currently a green cotton panel filter on my 2005 Ibiza pd100 but I was wondering what a cone filter sounds like on a diesel because a lad I know told me they sound awesome but i do not know what to believe.

Help me out people.

Cheers in advance

Hi
I had a Pipercross Induction kit on my Fabia
It was a tad loud and as I do 150 miles per day , I could not cope with the sound , it made it harder to listen to Take That
But it gave 4 bhp over the Pipercross panel filter and the PD160

alot of people recommend doing this, smoothing the airbox out, getting a decent cold air feed to it 3" or 4", you any size of your choice, bigger the better, and decent panel filter

All noise and no substance. More importantly you need cold air and a cone is going to struggle with the airbox removed. I wouldn't recommend it and removed the K & N cone on my Peugeot within days of buying it.

cheers bud,did you notice much change when you did this? when you say smoothing the air box out you talking about taking out all the fins ect??

 

[Dobby]

When fitting a Cone filter, did you take out the full box or just the top half of the airbox so more air can get to it?

Also, whats the difference between a cheap ripspeed cone at 30 pound and a Pipercross at say 80 pound?

Thanks

yes mate, take out all the fins and edges etc, i noticed better throttle response with it, and you cant go far wrong for it not costing you anything apart from an aching arm
ask jonjay what he thought of doing this mod aswell, no doubt he will be along soon
