JoeA Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 Take standard back box, cut the end off, rip/cut out the insides and weld the end back on.I've done this with my 1.4, only removed some of the insides and it sounds like this: This, or, cut yours off and clamp a straight pipe on the end. It's low, it rasps and it roars and it pops coupled with induction, sounds amazing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadmetal Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 The 1.4 sounds pretty awesome without a back box, dunno how the 1.0 would sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfOfZero Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 The 1.4 sounds pretty awesome without a back box, dunno how the 1.0 would sound. amazing at first, but then you realise it just sounds like a wet fart. I bought my 1L with no backbox, was so low it caught and pulled off :I so drove it around for 2 weeks without a backbox........ Lawlz.

JoeA Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 It sounds sweet, as I've always said, it doesn't sound chavvy, it sounds like it did before only now with low frequencies, and louder. Plus foot down (lol all the time in a 1.0) it roars when coupled with induction! It sounds a hell of alot better than getting some crap ass yob box wih a 3" tip cut into your bumper....

jakefresh Posted January 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 (edited) yh might do the "pipe" thats what i was hoping to get, like a bike almost.EDIT: drilled my airbox today Marginal difference, worth the 2 seconds it took LOL Edited January 23, 2012 by jakefresh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfOfZero Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 This sounds daft but Ivw always wondered what part of the airebox people drill?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeA Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Well its in a different place on every air box, but you drill the side that is before the filter, so the air going into the holes is still filtered its a pretty good mod if you really go to town with holes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakefresh Posted January 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 (edited) i drilled out all the dummy holes on the cover (TOOK IT OFF 1ST OBV.) but it looks nicer 2 now. Edited January 24, 2012 by jakefresh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeA Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 You've drille the wrong side, now dirt will go into the holes and into your engine nice one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakefresh Posted January 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 ey? what u mean i made sure they where below the air filter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V3 1UPO Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 why do u want it to sound better than what it is? It's a 1.0 it's not gonna sound amazing buddy. Have a look at 12yans Lupo 1.0. It's unbelievable! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeA Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 It's like saying why did you want to put a 1.8t in and make it better than it is, it's only Lupo. Making a car sound better in our own opinions is improving something thr can be improved upon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
