What is the best sounding intake. I've made my decision on which works the best, hence the M2 IMO, considering its not open, but how does the M2 sound?

Regards

 

Im going to be buying the m2 intake cf box in a few days, Ive heard its one of the best. Not sure how it sounds....

 

Intake sounds? You should be more concerned with functionality and fitment.

The only thing you have to worry about is the line from the air pump venting to atomosphere. With the open air intakes, it can make a "mooing" sound, but that can be muffled.

 

Your not going to hear much of anything from an intake, You have to remember it goes through the turbos first... Your not going to hear the roar most N/A cars make from an intake. You might hear the turbos a little better but then again they whine pretty good with the stock air box.

 

heard some people in japan running w/o filters.. wonder if its safe...

 

Sure if you don't mind rebuilding your turbos often. The point of the filters is to add longevity to your turbos. If you don't care how long they last, pull off the filters.

 

You don't drive a honda.

You don't hear the intake, except maybe for the airpump...which can be kept quiet

 

i cant even believe i just read this thread.

 

yea, thats why i said i dont know what it sounds like... ive never heard a intake on a rx7.... not likes the intake has a engine of its own.

 

The reason i ask is cos i owned an MR2 Turbo for 2 years. On the MR2 you can hear both the intake making a deep hissing sound (not an NA roar) and the turbos spinning up and down. But i think this is probably due the the engine being behind you, its basically behind your left ear.

 

Give the guy a break........I guess you have never asked a stupid question.......we all should be as bright as you!!!!!

 

i didnt hear anything, but i have a full exhaust. i had the apexi power intake. only spoolup gains from that. . . and a little hp.

i ask them all the time !!
calm down there big guy.

 

My exhaust is too loud to hear the intake.

 

dosent re ayama make an intake, and a heat shield for it?

 

I used to have an intake that was made buy Pettit or maybe it was PFS. Anyway I was not happy with that.......Seemed like the only air that the "Cold Air Intake" was getting, was HOT.

Absolutely correct!...I would be the "jspec guy" that does not use air filters...BUT, I have EASY access to good turbos AND have my single turbo kit waiting to get put on. DO NOT DO THIS IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR TURBO LONGEVITY.

 

DAMN IT!
