how to get my pods to whistle

[peckzz]

hi i have a pair of k&n pod filters, my mate has some cheap ones and his whistle, i want mine to whistle, ive heard that if you put a bit of metal or something in there they whistle? any ideas? thanks

What you do is, just take the pod off completely, so your intake pipe, is not covered, you get a good sound, and better air flow, thus making better power and economy.

Obviously, you didnt take that as sarcasm ?

K & N pods are overpriced. Sell them to another idiot and recoup your money. Buy SAAS or Drift brand pod and your set.

[sweefu]

K&N Products are great, and not overpriced for what your getting. If they do not make the size you are after i'd buy drift, but always K&N First because their cotton weave filters work very well when properly oiled..

Not sure on the whistle though mate, possibly a hole in your mate's pod filter??

[acarmody]

Out of curiosity why do you have 2 pod filters?

EDIT: Nix this I saw your pictures in the MACE V6 thread.

its not the ecotec that whistles, its the pod, my mate has a vn s2,
no to the statement above about the whole in the pod there is no whole in it, its how they are when you buy them new
and honestly who is that stupid to run it without a filter? espceially where i am, dust storms galore, as well as locus plaiges at the present

Shame you need 2 of them. Could of asked your mate if you could borrow it to drive around and test it. What brand does he have?

[fatvsss]

yeah i pick one up at supercheap some crappy $20 on just to see how it went lol

and this was on my ss and that mother****er was so dam loud i took it off vertually straight away, sounds so crap

Maybe its because you have twin t/b's with twin filters, splitting the air up going into two intakes, not just the one.

Making it basically half the amount of air going through each throttle body?
Slowing the air speed through the pod/filter down?

[Cobez]

Just out of curiosity, why would you want your pods to whistle?

na i had this pod on when i had singe throttle body, its just the type of pod that it whistles

i dont really know why i want it to whistle, something different?

Huh? Something different? Well yes, it certainly IS different lol. You want an irritating whistling noise coming from under your bonnet that can get you more attention from the Police, who can hand you a nice defect notice for having pod filters in the first place? Well yes, i guess it IS different.

[BLUWAGOON]

yeah agreed i am considering going back to the normal box as the sucking/whistling noise is freakin annoying

[Cobez]

Yeah i had a pod on my first car the day after i got my P's, then the day after that i took it off and put the airbox back in because the pod noise sounded shit and made me look like i was pretending i had forced induction, yet sounded NOTHING like it lol.

[fkford]

hehe, the good old pod, damn useless if you ask me.

But to answer your question i think cheap ones whistle and expensive ones e.g K&N dont whistle because people would rather spend the money not to hear the whistle if you get me.

[ruffiano]

I'm a fan of a good quality pannel filter in the existing airbox (K&N or BMC). Looks neater, plus is legal. Drift is just a cheaper substitute. No where near as good...

[vn2low]

well i got twin throttle bodys and my whisels that bad i hate it and i always wanted a pod to whisle but its a headache

[peckzz]

have you got pics? would love to see

[peckzz]

changed my mind after all your feedback, whistle would be annoying all the time, just sticking with the same setup
