Aftermarket filters

BeachsideF30 · 05-25-2014, 03:37 PM

Just curious to see if any of the aftermarket filters make a difference in induction noise while still running a stock box. Not looking to switch to an injen or afe. Just looking to see if afe oiled/dry or the pipercross foam makes a difference in sounds. I'm considering the pipercross from ecs on Tuesday

I use BMC. Slight change to induction noise.

I'd be very surprised to see any noticeable difference from just dropping in a new filter. The engine intake noise reduction comes from the airbox design, not the filter.

Did it alter the sound at all being in the stock box?

Not too much if at all. I also have the performance exhaust on my car, so I notice that more than I do the engine noise.
