FG-XR6T Member 177 Member For: 16y 10m 22d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 03/08/08 09:32 AM Share Posted 03/08/08 09:32 AM PHANTOM that mesh on the housing is what I was talking about and it it there as a silenser. Apparently if you rip it of it becomes alot louder and will suck in more air. Give it a go. I am on mine when I recieved it. The supplier im getting it off told me they have put a few on BF xr8's and FG xr6t and with the mesh off it is notiosibly louder..GIVE IT A GO.let me no how you go mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is still sucking in the hot air from the thermo fans, just not as much of it. I know people who run pod filters that are open to the engine bay but also have a cold air intake to it and they have had no problems. Look 100% up to you and I respect youe desicion. I honestly thought what you did but that vent there is still sucking in hot air..... with or without mesh on.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mate got just under 6rwkw with a K and N panel filter over the stock air filter on his BA and its makes a much bigger flutter noise than the stock filter di, once they uped the boost.
