Great Mods BTW!

FUNNY! I noticed the same thing when I installed my JB4 S1….it sounded pretty good and got me thinking, first thing I did was get in the car to see if I could hear it and second I closed the hood both while the airbox cover was off and the filter removed.

You could hear it a little while inside the car, when the hood was both open and closed, but you couldn’t really hear it outside of the car (hood down). Just thought you’d like to know.

I even tried an experiment by not tightening the torx screws completely down on the airbox cover …LOL.. it didn’t work for any noticeable sound improvement.

For now the drop-in K&N filter is what’s next (JB4 S2 is in the mail on the way…*drooling*)
