With a tune like the Alfaworks Stage 1 and a BMC filter there is enough whoosh and whistle to keep things interesting without it being oppressive.As installation seems to be quite tricky (according to MIkey Turbo's video on youtube) I ordered a BMC filter which I am to install in oem-housing, without the noise-damping sleeve. Also as I read experiences here on forum that the CAI may be too much...the vid in that post seems to evidence this.
Anyone experience as to how much the BMC filter alone would already increase the intake sound incl turbo whistle, without becoming too dominant?
Or do we really need a cold air intake, or BMC CDA / DIA airbox?
(I have the airbox on my Giulietta QV, as the BMC did not add much intake sound, but then in Giulietta the intake is positioned in front of the front wheels so far away from cabin. The airbox sounds really great, when driving next to a wall or so, so the sounds can enter cabin.)
Thanks for sharing experiences!
