Louder induction sound [pod filter?]

Postby flux » Mon Aug 01, 2016 2:25 pm

Hey guys, I own a 2005 Liberty GT manual.

I'm looking to make the induction sound a bit louder for that sweet woosh effect. My mechanic said you can just slap a pod filter on no worries, but after pulling out the stock airbox I found that the MAF sensor is inbuilt into the housing.

So what's the go? Should I just take to the housing with a hacksaw and keep the MAF in the same pipe/location and add piping off the end to the pod filter or is there a better alternative?

Cheers.

That's what I'm thinking. I've heard if you move the sensor to a different location/pipe diameter that causes issues too.
Guess i'll chop it.

Aftermarket intake pipes have the sensor mount

You'll want to get it tuned either way.
Cai is not reqd till well over 200wkw, maybe consider a 50/50 bov and a tune?

Old(ish) thread I know, but I removed the intake silencer on my Gen 4 (Non GT) which is a white box slightly larger than the air box and sits in the bumper below the air box. In removing the silencer, I gained a noticeably louder induction sound with a real nice tone.
