How do Audi look at that, if you took it to them with it fitted? Thinking warranty as it's new, hence why I didn't go cone filter.

Heat soak can be an issue with cones, unless boxed off. I just thought there'd be more turbo noise, but then Ian starting to realise the Fiesta st uses a different type of turbo. The k@n is a quality bit a of kit.

Oh they do now, :-) always had k@n cones until my last one that had the panel filter from Mountune. Just not as loud as I was expecting

Yeah pretty much all standard paper ones do. It's a pretty big filter box for a 2.0ltr

Interesting idea about smoothing air flow, but looking at it, I'd go for resonator idea looking at it, and by the difference in sound. Hemholtz resonators don't actually smooth air, they create pulses, which cancels out noise frequencies. Id image Audi would fit the resonator for drive by...

what filter are using? I did wonder if it was to protect the paper element.

Hi all what's the black tray that sits under the air filter in the air box for? Looks a bit like air baffles to me to reduce intake noise? Or does it have another purpose?

Haha around 25mpg now rather then the 19-20mpg for my first few days. Haven't done much on the motorway, but you can easily see it will cruise along nicely. Which was exactly what I was expecting tbh :) going to cost me a fortune though as I can't stop just going out for drive just because I...

When the sun pops out.

Bose system is properly the sound system I have heard from a factor fit.

Miltek? Deeper but not louder. Removing the resonator won't flag up a fault.

And clip from outside the car. Does get deeper under load, and you can hear it cracklings at times, when coming down when actually driving, with the windows.. but I can't pick it properly on iPhone mic. But I feel the Miltek is a much cleaner sound, compared to standard, it I wouldn't say...

Dam it sorry link

Before and after start up idle sounds recorded from outside on rear bumper, so from the same location. Both warm starts, both the same roads, which was all duel carriage way. Sun roof open on tilt on both. Point to note on the second version with the miltek I was stationary for zero amounts of...

Velvet Purple. Looks better in the sun light, has a lot of different shades to it
