RPI scoop info

[Machine monkey]

I think Luke and I will come up with something.

Our own LMM scoop.

 

[Woots]

How much would you be selling for? I'm not sure how much my rpi one is worth

 

[Bing]

Think the scoop noise gave Bing aural (oral) pleasure when I drove behind him

Yup. Sounded dirty and nasty. I want one :evil:

Gruppe M do one for the 3.0 but it costs like £800 I think

Sush Bing, I want to keep the price down...

Nah, you're alright - the Gruppe M is a carbon fibre piece of art, not a steel box with an ice cream cone in it

Plus I did some searching and found one for £700 :lol:

Just dug my scoop out....there really isn't much to them

Who was it modified their M air box by cutting holes and then wrapping it in c/f laminate ? If you want more noise and nothing else then surely that's the way to go ?

The holes in the airbox is a common TT mod, known as the Wak-box after one of the early modders. I did it on mine and it added a nice note to the induction.

Funny, as Exdos is advocating covering up the one that's in there

 

[Bing]

It is quite funny .... but of course you don't leave the holes open - what you're doing is taking out bits of thick, rigid plastic and then covering the holes with thin, resonant c/f

 

[T2FFN]

Not in the TT mod. Swiss cheese...

Really - you left it open ? Did that not bugger up the airflow ?

 

[Stuart Truman]

It would certainly eff up the air pressure.

I thought the point of having cf as a material was its density giving better resonance? I might be talking s**t? Did it work?

May be so, you're the engineer :lol: - but it is a thinner material with better resonance than plastic. The thread is here - starts with a MAF screen mod, but a little further down he describes the air box modification :

Ah, ok - the airflow behind the filter is not interrupted, it is the inlet side he has modded. I wonder if that reduces the life of the filter any, as it will definitely pick up more crap and water... Or not ?

I turned my airbox on my Corsa into slight Swiss cheese behind the air filter. Sounded so deep. Loved it!

Would probably ruin the z4 though.
