Spencer Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 is this for ITB's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vintage Grumble Posted May 25, 2010 Author Share Posted May 25, 2010 Yeh, thinking about taking fiberglass intake off and slapping one of them on, sounds stupid, but I want the intake noise back, also want to make intake longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep an airbox at all costs man, its free HP. Best bet to get max dort is get one made out of carbon fibre, its much thinner and you will get allot more sound back. They don't cost to much either if you dont make them to complex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truenotch Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Pipercross come from Cardwells I'm pretty sure. They're supposedly the best filter for ITB and carb setups and a lot of people seem to do well with them. Be prepared to pay a lot though... Something like $200 for the filter element and $100 for a blank backing plate (no holes). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpr Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 yeh they arent cheap. far far better than filter socks tho. we tested on 100kw engine on dyno, made same power with the filter as without. and almost 0 loss in dort had airbox on mine as well but went back to the pipercross. the sound beats any gain the airbox gave me. shit thats also half went back to it, from sc14 induction 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vintage Grumble Posted May 25, 2010 Author Share Posted May 25, 2010 Yeh, thats what im thinking, i'd happily give up a hp or two to get the dort back, but not at all keen to use socks again. Would most likely make decent partition to keep hot air out anyway, so doubt there would be a noticeable loss in power. Only thing that worries me is space.

Vintage Grumble Posted October 1, 2013 Author Share Posted October 1, 2013 Any of ya'll know what the mesh under the foam in these looks like? Or do they just have a frame of some kind? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelies Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 ooh i'll jump in on this haha.. mesh kinda looks like expanded alloy does it not? Q.. will an alloy (say 0.6mm?) airbox do a good job of transmitting induction noise like carbon fibre? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Probably not, build a mould and get it laid up in carbon. Become friends with a boat builder type and it should be cheap enough? Have a buddy here that was making carbon bits for a show car and the materials costs weren't that bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vintage Grumble Posted October 2, 2013 Author Share Posted October 2, 2013 I happen to have a mate that works for a super yawt place, and does lots of carbon work, but hes way up above auckland. I was thinking of using stainless mesh and making my own foam filter for the hell of it. I could make the backing plate the same as my fiberglass intake, so I can swap them when I want.

Steelies Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 filter foam is black magic, and often multi layered. i know it's not really the same application but my first velo bike ate a lot of different types of petrol soaked foam particles before i gave up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vintage Grumble Posted October 2, 2013 Author Share Posted October 2, 2013 Yeh, I know what ya mean, but it sounds like you can buy the uni filter stuff in sheets or some shiz? Its only single layer, but should keep birds and rocks out. The pipercross stuff is fancy 3 layer stuff. Woooooo 3 layer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingbrick Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 If carbon intake I would give mike shaw a call. Prices aren't bad and very nice quality. If u made a plug and posted to him he'd do the rest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truenotch Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 I'll get you one made. We're working on a design similar to a pipercross at the moment. / I can get you the filter foam if you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
