did mine this morn on a gen 3 twister was great with the directions, can hear the noise at about 2500rpm had a bit of a run init but didnt see any diff in performance apart from it has a little less hesitation and smoother gear change, as for mpg ill give it a week of goin to wrk n ill know

Im goona do this snorkus mod on saturday and will let ya know how it goes....fitting wise though it sounds to me like a bit of a ball ahce doing it on the gen 3 tbh

does this mod make any diff to a gen 3.5 ??

cheers

mostl 1.6 and 2.0

Wow, I can't believe i have just found this thread. This mod was first caried out by by mate - we both bought gen 1 coupes in 98. I remember photocopying the picture from the Hyundai coupe workshop manual that he has used. He removed the intake, and it was too noisy for my liking so i left mine standard. He quotes about 5 bhp but as far as i remember it was never proven. his gen 1 (the red car in the photo) was the first car to get a K&N 57i kit in the country. He kept phoning them about availibillity and in the end we took the car to them, they played about with a few air filter sizes till they were happy. They gave him a questionaire and sent us home with the filter fitted. He filled in the questionaire and sent it back, they said he could have the filter free and they were then made available for sale

Cant beleive i hadnt thought of this already... Anyway, does anyone know if its ok for motorway driving, and if the mpg is affected (on a gen1), as i'm a student, so dont really want it to drop

I`m looking at buying an S3 2.0 brand new in the very near future, will the snorkus mod be possible on this model? (anyone have experience with this?) - Or would it be advised I go straight for a K&N filter?

just a quick one is the snorkus mod ok when car is going through an mot

yes no bother at all

good cuz mine is having its MOT next month and I have done the mod...got a K&N 57i fitted now though!

just done this to my v6 and hello low down grunt where were you hiding in that pipe work, amazing mod, its made a huge difference on my car,

on the gen1 it does make a nice bit of booming noise when the revs hit the mid range...

I was wondering if now that the resonator has been removed, is there a higher chance of water geting sucked up into the air filter box through that gaping hole in its side... its just that looking at the resonator it looks like there is a hole in the bottom which any water entering the engine bay would drop down into. Perhaps this is completly silly idea and me being paranoid about water geting into the engine.... any re-assurance from anyone??

hey looks well easy saw the video but didntn see how the resonator was removed can anyone tell me

Two bolts, one is a easy the other is under the Battery tray (one/two bolts to remove). Disconnect and remove the battery, remove the tray, remove the resonator, replace tray and battery - total time 10 to 15 mins (if you have to go and get a spanner)

wicked cheers 100scout

but the resonator doesnt have to be removed if i dont want too....does it

No, I ran mine with the resonator in place until I fitted a CAI recently. It does nothing with the snorkus removed, just adds weight (Not much though)

wicked,

ill be doing it tomorrow as i have the tps problem at the mo and the part i pick up tomorrow so i want to make sure that works first

done it... but can anyone tell me if ive done it right also should there be a differance in noise as i cant hear any?



[/img]

you should only hear a differance when you rev the engine as the resonator is there to keep it quiet.

yeah its not that much but if it helps my mpg then im happy got a fully take so gona be a little while before i notice a differance

cheers 100scout

Thanks Kevnbex, I'll give a go but I think I'll wait for warmer weather as I'm a bit of a wimp in the cold.

cheers thedupleman do you mean the fully air filter kit replacement or just the filter element,also would the whole air filter kit still help my mpg?

Hi guys,
Im selling my K&N panel filter on ebay at the moment. It goes straight into the filter box of a gen 1 (not sure about the other models).
It gives a small horsepower increase. I had this filter with the Snorkus mod and it makes a truely awesome noise! I recommend it to any gen1 owner.



I have a topic in the for sale section too...

final time: NO YOU DO NOT

Sorry Daz, but can you be a bit clearer

ok no there is no chance it'll go through.......my living room
