that's the inside of my nizpro box, foam is about 1" thick. Not sure if its proper acoustic stuff, clark rubber would sell something suitable. The 3rd piece sticks to the car itself.

Fibreglass/plastic boxes are supposedly quieter than metal ones too.

why do you think the factory piping is made from rubber and thick plastic, for the reason people dont want there falcon sounding like a jet engine, if you want to kill the sound you need to change the piping. I used to have 2 intakes one I made from alloy and one I made from cutting up the factory plastic piping, I would swtich between either depending on what sound I wanted,

I havnt heard the process west kit, it should be quieter being silicone hose from the airbox to turbo, but I have heard the nizpro which is thick wall cast alloy and it is pretty quiet compared to thin wall piping intakes...that's just my experience anyways...

Good idea.

I will experiment with this too. Was thinking of wrapping the Acostic/Insulation Aluminium tape around the metal piping from the pod to the turbo as an experiment.

Might also try some silicon piping straight from the enclosed pod to the turbo as well if all else fails.

Could I fit an entire section of 4" Silicon Hose over the stainless steel pipe between the turbo and pod filter?

WD40 to help slide it on?

Just need to cut out a hole for the Blow off valve return.
