CALICO 130 Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 BMC CDA air filter is in my opinion rhe quickest cheapest mod Link to post Share on other sites
Vw_owner 1 Posted August 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 i reved the engine without the airbox to see if there was any change in the engine noise and it was still as quiet as a mouse also doesnt even sound like a vr6 its just flat out quiet, the exhaust is completly standard and seems to have 3 silencers and one cat.

editionmatt 1 Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 if its your run around keep an eye out on the for sale section on here and you can sometimes get a bargain that or maybe fleabay? Link to post Share on other sites
gavinvr6 0 Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 big fat air filter. thats all i got at the mo and sounds brilliant. got that nice deep induction roar a vr should have Link to post Share on other sites
Bangsy 0 Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 I have had around 40 perfect round holes drilled in my standard air box and it sounds amazing!!! Link to post Share on other sites
rodney 17 Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 modification is simples... drill holes in the air box or get a filer.. and you will have to get a cat back system,Ebay and the for sale section is the answer... whilst your at it pick up the suspension and then you have a perfect car...

spadam 7 Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 Just reving it will never sound as loud as putting the engine under load i.e. acually driving it on the road. Link to post Share on other sites
Bangsy 0 Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 mines a vr6.... trust me dont remove the air box just drill the holes in it but they have to be perfectley round..... mine turns heads everywhere i go and always getting comments on the sound. i have a standard VR6 and ive been told its one of the best sounding people have heard Link to post Share on other sites

Vw_owner 1 Posted September 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 thats so wierd how your all saying that an induction kit or drilling holes in your filter box works? as i ran it for a minute with the filter box disconnected to see if it made a difference and it didnt, not even the slightest,And yes stigg im sure it has 6 cylinders just had my cam belt replaced the otherday. LOL thats a joke btw, yea its a 6! i also have a coorado vr6 with a milltek decat system which sounds realy realy realy nice!! but im not paying £450 for that to go on my daily runner but i deffinatly need to get something done as im missing out on the PURR PURRRR PURRR!!!

J5KE F 0 Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 Only jessin with ya dude There's universal fit induction kirs on flea bay at £15 which fit upto a 4" pipe so they will go on your vr.. I'm runnin one on the mk2 r32 an on the vento vr.. Not sure how they sound na as both mine are charged one way or another but got to be worth a go..?! Link to post Share on other sites
Vw_owner 1 Posted September 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 charged VR's ya lucky bugger!!! yea deffinatly gona give it ago anyways, also got a magnex backbox which i need to get a pipe made up for it to fit so ill try n get that fitted!! also stig ,whats a charged vr like compared to na? does it just pull ALOT more in the rev range? i.e from 3500 rpm Link to post Share on other sites
J5KE F 0 Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 The supercharged vr sounds like a vr only more aggressive and on boost it rips like a fighter jet! Its also far more driveable than the turbo vr whoch looses the vr grunt even without the short runner. You do get a semi vr note but its not quite as distinctive.. Plus on peak boost u really know about it!In my opinion, superchargers are morr 'scene' they sound great and look cool however, if u want power and go then turbo is where its at!

I still miss mine... Not the best sounds but check out YouTube for more... they sound Luuuuuurrrrrrrvvvvvvllllllyyyyyyyy....And yes much more drivable through out the range... the way is should have been at day one... Save and do it....I got better mpg on mine so could be a daily.... edit... another one... wish I'd recorded mine properly... ;( and another...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dIuEPCpkBlk&NR=1 Njoy let us know how the build goes... this could be you...
