accoustic valve

[karlktm]

what is the accoustic valve and where is it? also..what does it do?

 

[davebem]

Do a search in the tuning section. Theres a guide somewhere on how to remove it.

It's below the passenger headlight.

It restricts inlet airflow on part-throttle and cold start, for a number of reasons.

would that make it sound abit like a (quiet) aeroplane noise..only heard when accelerating slowly with no radio?

How did you block the pipe that was attached?

Can someone provide a picture or a guide, as I've searched and searched but only found threads similar to this one

I have left mine in place and just relocated the cold air feeds, and blocked off the pipe that goes to the inlet

I'd certainly like to give it a go having read the mixed reviews on here about it. What am I looking for, what will I need to disconnect it?!

it basically the pipe which feeds into the side of you standard airbox. the tube goes down just behind the passenger light. just pull it out of the airbox (there's no clip to break so dont be frightened to give it some force if necessary)
