you will find most people will tell you that you will get absolutely no noticeable gains from either. I have both and alternate between the two but the induction kit does sound epic!

if you want epic sounds, get a ph1 airbox or an Espace v6 airbox, they sound mint and i would never want to change back

What is needed to fit a ph1 box? Can the feeds from the stock 182 box be used?
Thanks

 

[ABOO]

Leave feeds off, sounds like you're after the induction roar..

 

[PP200t]

Cheers. Is it stupid loud or just a nice noise? I don't like the noise when you remove the airfeed from the side of the standard box.

Do the bucket mod for the ultimate roar

 

[PP200t]

Lol,

 

[Dave Hester]

Lol,

Whys that funny??

 

[PP200t]

I read your thread on it, but buckets are expensive by me so I thought it better to look at ph1 airboxes.
Anyone got a video of a 182 with just a ph1 box on?

used BMC/Maxogen if you want cheaper yet a nice looking/sounding induction kit

 

[PP200t]

I was looking much cheaper than used maxogen's lol.
I am tighter than a tight person!!

drill holes in your current airbox then.

or remove it completely and just pull a pair of tights over the intake hose

 

[Scrooge]

Jus't don't bother or if you must just get a panel filter.

 

[PP200t]

I'm just trying to improve the intake noise. The car doesnt sound like a hot hatch.
I have found a ph1 airbox but that's all, no feeds or anything, hence me asking if mine off the airbox fit. I want more noise but not like when you remove the side air feed off the ph2 box.

 

[ripp]

espace/v6 airbox as it has a larger air feed and a itg filter inside

Yes it does, it just doesn't sound like a chavalicious 1.2 [insert any french heap you care to mention].

The noise you get with the 2nd hose off is prety much that of an airbox with a panel in it.

I didn't realise that to be honest, i thought it would be quieter than that. Also it feels like it loses power when you remove the pipe, and I don't want that, or to sound like a chavmobile, just want slight improvements.

 

[Goodj]

loud car = chav

unless it has some genuine reason to create that noise.... like some some or V8, for instance.

 

[PP200t]

Yes I agree, but for example a 200/197 sounds better under acceleration would you not agree?

 

[Goodj]

no, no I wouldn't.

straight-4s generally sound completely toss. Only exceptions I can think of are Vtec Hondas.

If you want something to sound tasty, you need at least 1 more cylinder, preferably 2, 4, or 8 more

 

[davo172]

Jetex air filter in std airbox if you not goin ph1 airbox.

 

[PP200t]

I just wanted to know whether it was a worthwhile mod and whether I can use my feeds on it. It appears from what I've read that it's a slightly better idea than putting a performance filter in the ph2 box that's all.
