Kick Up The Rs 0 Posted October 27, 2006 I'm considering a twin cone filter set up from SWG. Question is, how noisy are they (or any cone set-up for that matter) in terms of induction roar / drone when just tootling along?? I don't mind a nice growl when I put my foot down, but the thought of a constant drone is putting me off a bit. A bit anal, but does anyone have an audio clip - or just their views to help me make my mind up... Thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flusted 0 Posted October 27, 2006 Im running twin cones and they only drone between 2-3k otherwise you dont really hear them Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steveo29 0 Posted October 27, 2006 i couldnt put up with it ...maybe im getting old try running the car with the lower part of the airbox off....make sure the filter is still in place , just to give you a idea of how loud they are Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flusted 0 Posted October 28, 2006 someone should arrange a group buy for the twin inlet kits? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

goodridge 0 Posted October 29, 2006 What are you running at the moment? I was running a drilled airbox before with CC removed and a cold air feed. To be honest I don't think its any louder. Depends what you are used too I guess Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 1 Posted October 29, 2006 Well I experimented on my old G60 with the standard airbox, and the standard airbox with the induction 'trumpet' thingy removed from the airbox. The noise was fun for about.. ooh.. 10 minutes then the constant droning pulse of the induction noise started to give me a headache. Its not even like the G60 induction noise is nice and throaty like that of a VR6 with an induction kit - its just a droning boom. No thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm 23 and like my Golf loud. Nothing better than rolling through town at about 1800rpm :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 1 Posted October 29, 2006 Yeah - to be fair it does come down to personal preference. Much like the never ending G60/VR6 nonsense that comes up :) As I say - sometimes it was fun and the attention was amusing (people used to turn around like right at the other end of the road if you gave it a quick blat such was the noise) but its either one or the other and if you've had a bad day and you just wanna crawl home, its like having someone hammering on your head - especially with the way the induction sort of pulses / throbs! Arrghh... :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Riley 0 Posted October 29, 2006 Video's with the snorkel removed from the airbox,sounded crazy at first and gave me headache too jim :lol: Got used to it now though...it is a real droney kinda noise. Neil. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neil VR6 0 Posted October 30, 2006 Those vids make me miss my old G60 (which had no snorkel and an additional air feed from the brake duct) :) EDIT: Just been to your website (http://www.volksdevil.com/corrado%20g60.htm) and those shift lights are awesome!

BeavisJem 0 Posted October 30, 2006 Refering to the top vid. Is that the normal kind of acceleration for a 68mm G60. My 3rd gear seems much more sluggishat 60. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Riley 0 Posted October 30, 2006 EDIT: Just been to your website (http://www.volksdevil.com/corrado%20g60.htm) and those shift lights are awesome! Thanks m8 :D how did you come across the rado page out of interest? Refering to the top vid. Is that the normal kind of acceleration for a 68mm G60. My 3rd gear seems much more sluggishat 60. Ill be honest m8,the car used to be quicker (as vid) than it is now and i dont really know why :( haven't had time to think about it or look into it though,maybe a boost leak... Neil.

dubburke 0 Posted October 30, 2006 Why is it that i can't hear my charger whine like that (2nd film?) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Riley 0 Posted October 30, 2006 Do you have the snorkel in the airbox m8? makes a massive difference to the sound :) Neil. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dubburke 0 Posted October 30, 2006 No snorkel, plus k&n panel filter Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Riley 0 Posted October 30, 2006 Not sure m8,it was quite soon after a full blend rebuild at pitstop,it did loose the whine after a bit of mileage... Neil. :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dubburke 0 Posted October 30, 2006 Maybe thats why, plus i have only a stage 2 rebuild Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Riley 0 Posted October 30, 2006 Ahhhh,yeah. :) Mine was stage 2 before,and it was a lot more noisy after the full blend...kinda wish the noise hung around for a bit longer like,it just faded away a bit. Still sounds pretty droney similar to the vids like. Neil. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
