ITG pro panel filter

[crazy6]

I mentioned this before and had some replies but just got a different answer from a dealer....will installing an ITG pro panel filter increase the SOUND of the elise ? If I need to do the full induction thing I will look at it but if the panel filter gets some way towards a beefier sound I would be very happy. I don't care about bhp....just noise ???

Anyone installed this item...and got an opinion on sound ?!

I like it "I just want noise" yeah it will give you a slightly deeper throttle noise whilst its not earth shattering though!

a cone filter is what you want if you're just after lots of noise.

The noise difference won't be huge. If you're really after noise, a new exhaust is the way to go. Completely changed the character of my car (for the better). So much so I went on to get rid of the cat too.

For video comparisons, click on my profile and then on the 'video' bit and you can see what I mean!

don't you find putting the cat in for the MOT a bit of a bind though, to the point where you just leave it in?

[james33]

Yep depends on your budget doesnt it, sounds like you want noise immediately so if your budget lends itself to a filter now thats it isnt it but its just noise really not exhaust note.Obviously the way forward is the new exhaust set up lots to go at all providing an array of exhaust notes depends on how mean you want it to sound!

The car's first MOT is due in October so I've not come across the problem yet, however, I have a 'friendly' garage who - so long as everything else is perfect - will over look such a minor mishap.

If you do need to put it back on though, it's probably 1 day to get it off, get car down to MOT, get back home and take it off again. It's only once a year and be glad we don't live in Belgium; I have a friend with an Escort Cosworth who lives there and each year they have to turn the car back to STANDARD...including brakes, wheels, suspension, you name it. Takes them a week to prepare for the MOT

I don't think they can overlook it now Tony. If they have a machine it has to be plugged in and the machine decides if the gases are OK or not. Having said that putting taking the decat off, replacing the cat and doing the reverse is only about an hours labour at most.

As above, if you want induction roar (you do, believe me) then a Hurricane or ITG is the way to go. If you want Exhaust/engine roar, a new pipe and decat will see you right.
