me and my mate have just fit my pipercross kit about an hour ago and i wondered why it didnt sound so loud? i think its because of poor air flow to the induction kit now that i havent got a feed straight into the box. can anyone suggest what might be wrong??
cheers

cold air feed wont enhance volume...i had a renault 5 gt turbo and it had no induction noise at all 
some cars have good volume and some don't...u aint gonna get louder than a pipercross either...
my saxo sounded fuckin ace!

is it maybe because the noise is down to the induction length, size, etc etc not just the filter. cone filter on the GT does not make a noise

the noise on the GTT was a different story anyway...no induction noise, but with the PiperX cone on the whistle from the turbo was unreal
