Is it normal

[Shaun 172]

Like the title says i've just bought my first clio 172 and was wondering is it normal that when i stick my foot down the engine sounds like i have an induction kit even though the standard airbox is still fitted?:S

 

[McGherkin]

Yes.

BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

The air box has probably been flowed, so some of the pieces cut out of the inside. A friend has a 172 that does the same as this, my 172 cup never did though until I got a K-tec induction kit.

Been flowed? Never heard of that before. Is that something that's beneficial? Or just for noise? Lol

I would imagine that the air feed pipes have been pulled out/deteriorated and fell out.

 

[Harko]

might even of lost to cold air pipe

Supercharger iirc, rare factory option.

As others have said, check your air intake pipe, probably got a split in it.

 

[Mr Plums]

Bottom of airbox been drilled?

Lower caf removed probably, it makes the most difference compared to the one at the front
