Induction kit and noise

[JayH]

Fitted a k&n cone filter to my s70 t5 volvo pre me7. Was expecting it to flutter and make a noticable sound but can barely hear it. Anything i can do? Car currently has no dumpvalve so was thinking by putting this k&n it should have made more of a fluttering noise?

removing the re-circ valve from the turbo and fitting a blanking plate will give flutter ( I'm not getting drawn into whether this will reduce turbo life or not, I run one like this and see no problems,but still sceptical about it), a simple job really or remove the sound deadening from the bonnet to here the improved induction roar

As mole said remover the sound deadening, that will make a big difference

19t, bonnet soundening & rain seal removed, recirc blanked & a Pipercross cone filter (didn't like the K&N one)

I can turn the chatter off with a flick of a switch when it gets annoying mate.

It was more surprise than anything, I wasn't expecting the 3" downpipe to make that much of a difference.

On an early phase 1 S/V70 with no cabin filter just put the heater on fresh air flow central vents as the air box/ cone filter is just by the scuttle vents!

It does make a difference and you can just shut it closed when bored with the noise...

or maybe get auto windscreens in brum to fit you a new one, ive got a glue gap in mine right by the turbo since he did it.....
