OCDetails Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 I don't know that the butt dyno has noticed any gains, but I definitely get that cool 'whoosh' sound between gears now. I couldn't ever hear that before. Two thumbs up for noise. _________________________________________ “Cleanliness becomes more important as godliness becomes more unlikely.” O C D E T A I L S .

leftride Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 haha....i installed mine about a week ago and the bov sounds is definitely fun. vtgt, got mine from rallitek.com for ~$60. *vb gallery* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCDetails Posted April 27, 2006 Author Share Posted April 27, 2006 I bought mine from LGT member heybige for $35 bucks. It's a great looking filter. I decided on the AVO instead of the Perrin because I can clean the AVO with just normal water. The perrin seemed to be a bit too high maintainance for my taste. _________________________________________ “Cleanliness becomes more important as godliness becomes more unlikely.” O C D E T A I L S .

Gire Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Classic gauge. Maybe AVo will have a GB on that? Seriously, my AVO panel suits me nicely, along with the intake silencer removal. (thanks Jedi thread) The whoosh of the turbo, plus BPV noise are a nice addition when the windows are up and the stereo is down. It sounds great IMO. No performance or mileage gains were ever expected, so if any are realized, then its a total bonus... A good buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCDetails Posted April 27, 2006 Author Share Posted April 27, 2006 Is there any downside to the intake silencer removal? I've heard it jacks with your idle. If there isn't any downside then I'd do it for a little more noise. _________________________________________ “Cleanliness becomes more important as godliness becomes more unlikely.” O C D E T A I L S .

Scooby Fan Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 I did the silencer removal within a few days of getting the car and have had it on and off a few times to try to make comparisons....Does NOT change the idle.....Butt dyno says "No change"...Ear dyno says "Big improvement" :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NHLEG Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 I just pulled out my Blitz LM as it still looked new after 11,000 miles. Was it filtering??? Put in the AVO. Much better fit. Hope it filters better as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legasee Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 I got a new AVO panel filter from a great guy on this forum. So when the AVO panel filter gets dirty, you just hose it off with water, let it dry (a few hours?), and reinstall WITHOUT applying anything, right?...(I've only had experience with K&N before and so I'm used to having to re-oil it). How many washes can the Avo filter last for before throwing it away? Thanks In Taiwan now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattg Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 I cleaned my Perrin last night, it was filthy with ~ 8K miles on it. if I had to guess I'd say it was down to 50% efficiency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trabbic Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 i took the silencer off and couldn't tell a difference at all. just road noise. Get on it at around 3000 rpm = louder; also you can hear the turbo at lower rpm and boost levels with AVO/Perrin/K&N = Turbo goodness.

If there isn't any downside then I'd do it for a little more noise. It is such an easy mod, that you can take it out; and if you don't like it than put it back.

mbacis Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 I did the silencer removal a while ago and thought it made the car sound ricey so I put it right back on. I'll have to try it again since I can't remember very well. I used to have a K&N on my V6 Cougar and I loved the sound, nice growl under hard acceleration. The LGT just sounded too high pitched and whiney to me. Does the panel filter result in the same pitch as the silencer removal? Hell, I'm gonna go pull it out right now to test on tomorrow's drive to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
