FrozenNorthLGT Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Well today as part of the rest on my spring tune up I did my spark plugs and installed an AVO panel filter. Install was a piece of cake since I already had the intake and air box out for the plug install. The filter seems well built, much like K&N, less the oil. Initial impressions are a very subtle change in intake tone, not necessarily louder, but different. The main reason for the install was I needed a new filter anyways, and this alternative is cleanable and thus, longer lasting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoobydoobie Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 sound clip? It's a panel filter. Not much, if any, change in sound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeFromPA Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 You can hear the turbo and wastegate much moreso around 4500-5000 rpms, and during throttle lift-off. No more real intake sound though. FYI - If you were curious, I've been running the AVO for 11k. I did an oil analysis to see how well it was filtering with oil run between 7.5k-11k of those miles; seems to be filtering just fine, based upon the analysis.

FrozenNorthLGT Posted April 10, 2009 Author Share Posted April 10, 2009 Yeah, I think I saw your thread mentioning that. No sound clip, none needed. Like I said in the first post, not much to notice there. And the engine bay is the result of the only garage I have to work in being 45 minutes from my apartment, and at the end of 2 miles of dirt road...lol...
