A cone won't 'growl' as much on a turbo car buddy you will mainly get a sucking / hissing noise due to the sound of the turbo spooling being amplified. The growl you hear from cars is on a na engine.
K&N conical air filter really hissy
Hi
I just fitted a K&N air filter to my corsa vxr 11 plate.
My friend got it through his work and it's quite a big filter.
When I'm driving its fine runs fine drives ok but it hisses a lot instead of growls.
You can hear the dump valve a lot more which is good and the turbo whistle is much louder but there is no growl.
Any ideas on how to make it more growly?
Thanks

ye i had the k and n cone on mine to test it and was very loud and am unsure whether to clean it and oil it to make it a permanent fixture.did bring a little giggle with the noises it was making
Is there any way to quieten the hissing a bit?
Would a panel filter give more of a growl?
In short no that's how they sound even with a panel filter you still get the same noise just a little quieter

Get A remus or cobra pal if it's noise you want
Ok thanks guys.
The cone won't damage the turbo or anything I take it?
Shouldn't do mate there's plenty of guys and girls running cones on here with no problems at all myself included
