Just picked the car up after it has had a bit of the Jetstream black magic applied and it feels like new! Best bit though is the air filters have been moved to the bulkhead, what a noise, it's awesome! Couldn't stop smiling on the way home. Thanks Matt and Dave, great service as normal.

Right going back out for for another fix of the incredible sound.

What functionality do you loose? And how would you describe the noise? I'm struggling to find anything to use to describe the sound.

Length of intake path loger length and bends = more restrictive, if you can class that as function.

I would have said the intake is used to pass air to the engine so that's its function wink

Also had my exhaust sorted, a couple of small jobs and an MOT. Really good service. It's the detail that makes the difference like adjusting my drivers door.

I think the saying goes if Heineken did Noble garages!

Can you buy the brackets to move the filters? I only want to move the front one so I can lose the long trunk.

Sure the intake is important, and improving a restricted installation is always going to be a good idea providing you have the fuelling to take advantage of it of course.

My point is that having the filters on the bulkhead is not a problem if sized and done correctly. smile

Mine makes 612bhp with them there...... biggrin
