Ross_46:
quietist? i had mine fitted yesterday and its pretty loud. at the risk of sounding like a rite pansy does it get quieter or change note after its bedded in abit as ive only done 100 miles with it atm :chicken:
chungster:
When I first heard one on neilM's ed30 I Defo didn't think it was quiet at all! It was bloody loud IMO but made a sound I rather liked.
Wouldn't mind having one fitted actually.

....I've just answered your PM but for everyone else's benefit here is my PM reply:
"Hi Ross,
No I haven't found any noticeable change in the sound my Twintake makes over mileage - I'm not sure offhand how many thousand miles I've done with it - 2 or 3k?
You'll find that most aftermarket 'lollipop-on-a-stick' filters will be much noisier than oem flat panel types and even more noisy when the filter isn't enclosed like Evoms, ITG Maxogen etc. Noise will vary slightly from car to car but basically the pipe works as an amplifier. I like the sound of my Twintake but it's totally down to personal preferences and there's no right or wrong.
How quickly/suddenly you lift your foot off the accelerator will effect the sounds.
HTH :smiley: Robin"
I wonder if wrapping the pipe in soundproofing material would help, but it's unlikely to look very nice and that stuff is always heavy weight.
