Check out the individual filters that omgjon has put on his car. As I recall, Jon said they are more 'melodious' than the stock setup. There have been discussions (with pictures), in our forum and the 308/328/Mondial section, about the pros & cons of running aftermarket filters. There is the prospect that the considerably higher temperature of engine compartment air will reduce power. However, Webers are partial to an undrestricted/straight shot of air. Now, consider that the cooler fresh air ducted from the scoop must travel a slightly restricted and rather circuitous path...ending in a 90-degree/shrouded turn into the carbs. I don't know how much mitigating effect that has on the benefit of the denser/cooler air charge.

Others, with more knowledge & experience, will surely chime in to give you a more educated response. However, all of us will likely agree that Dino growls more aggressively when the Webers are unleashed. The engine compartment is a lot more entertaining, too.

raywong, if you're not racing or showing the Dino, it probably boils down to a matter of personal preference. Remember, it's your car. Enjoy it.

Hi Jon,
'looks like you cut a quicker light!

At any rate, are you still happy with your filter setup? In my GT, the induction sound is more 'present' in my left ear when everything's buttoned up & drawing air through the scoop. With the box open or off, the sound is louder/better, but is more centralized & slightly 'distant.' Perhaps this migration isn't as noticeable when your spyder is topless?

Thanks for the use of your pics,
Coop

 

Yes, but those same carb air cleaners had a DINO logo on last Saturday, got pic?


At the tale end of this video you can see/hear OMGjon's blue Dino on the road.
It sounds very nice too.

Here's a video of what my GT sounds like with a Lexan-topped airbox and a raised engine cover. Every time I think about going back to stock I think of how the sound will change and resist the temptation.
