Any way to make the drivers side airbox replacements a little quiter? I'm thinking of using an FG intake muffler somehow.

Or otherwise wrap the pod filter in duct tape.

You could perhaps make your own it's a simple enough concept. I just wonder if it's having the baffling right on the bend that makes it work in the first place?Or as above go back to stock lol? Why go turbo side if you don't like spool? I will swap you an entire stock fg setup for a turbo side Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/88835-muffler-after-battery-delete/#findComment-1488254 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Failing that I'll do the swap. I want to develop a 3d printed box actually, either side that uses a stock panel. Think it can be done Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/88835-muffler-after-battery-delete/#findComment-1488364 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be cheaper though to make the usual 4in intake on the battery side and insulate it and I'd say the noise level would be similar in the end anyway...Depending on what power you want to chase you may be better off just leaving the original box in place and make some bigger piping to the turbo!
