Pete91 Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 Induction kit? Remove backbox/chop it in half and remove baffle and weld back up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeA Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 Take off the back box, put a straight pipe in, and get some panel filters. Do that and you WILL thank me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeA Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 Yeah it's straight with a bend at the end to get the heat away from the bumper and no I need one really, I've changed my mid box now aswell so it sounds a lot better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeA Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 Just found this, this is from way back when i had the first straight pipe, the standard mid box and OMP panels filters. Still sounds sweet but she's a different animal these days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeA Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 Take off the backbox, get the panels in, you won't regret it just make sure u put the straight pipe in otherwise you get fumes in the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defcon5 Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 A panel filter wont do anything for noise. An open cone will give you the induction sound you require Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeA Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 A panel filter wont do anything for noise. An open cone will give you the induction sound you requireJust over a year ago, it was one of the first mods i did. 2x OMP panel filters. Improved the noise a lot!
