Guy's what induction kit or panel filter do you think sounds the best for the 6?

If anyone has any video clips would be great as well.

Cheers tom

Well I would have thought it would go like this on sound alone:

Exposed cone > cone in aftermarket airbox> aftermarket panel in standard airbox >standard filter in standard airbox

I have a K&N Air filter in the standard box and think it sounds pretty awesome. On WOT and Part throttle you can hear the air rushing through the filter.

I wouldnt run a exposed cone myself due to the heat soak.

IMO the ultimate solution would be to get a bmc to fit without removing the battery and utilising the air scoop, both for performance and sound.

Exposed gives the best sound, enclosed gives the best performance. Yes

All depends exactly what it is you're after really Tom...

I've used a few types but always prefer the K&N cone.

I have one for sale actually Wink

    Think I'm going to try and get a BMC for the road car. I've got an open cone now and it's looking a bit tired!

    I have an open simota cone on at the minute, it sounds great, gives a proper rolling bwarp, will be replacing it with Bmc cda though, to prevent heat soak

    I have a de resonated standard box with k&n panel filter. It's not as bwarpy as a cone but gave much better performance.

    Aaron by de resonated to you mean the bit that pops of the side is gone?
    Mine is fallying off and WILL NOT go back at all without me dismantling it.
    I might do the same as you in that case.

    This was the point I was making. Yes

    Aaron has a very good setup there, as it has a good source of cold air so will give better performance. On my very first '6', I had an open K&N induction kit and the noise was lovely, but the heatsoak noticably robbed it of power. So it's a basic trade off of how you want the car to be, from a personal perspective I would want performance over noise if I couldn't have both. Wink

    How much power we talking being robbed with heat soak? 3, 4 bhp, i all ready have a cold air feed pipe mounted in the bumper, will just angle it upwards towards the new filter, job done lol.

    Yeah mate. But you gotta bung up the hole. Mine has a plate welded over the hole then freshly painted.

    That's all very well, and would indeed produce a much better result but some folk haven't got that sort of cash to be able to do that sort of mod...

    As above on mine,except mines got a Ram-Air cone in the standard airboxThumbs up

    Works well,also I've modded the snorkel so air is now forced into the airboxSmile

    The induction noise of a open cone does sound better,but I did notice a lack of throttle response/low down pull with a open cone on mineYes
