Big Bumper 16v tip

[Gambit]

if you have a late 16v (big bumper) with the newer larger airbox then you can make it sound a hell of a lot better if you remove the resonater tube from the airbox

to do this:-

simply remove the base of the airbox

you will then see a long black tube in the base of the air box that exits thru the front of the box

prise this whole tube out and exit out (takes a bit of force but eventually it'll come out

your then left with a nice whole in the front of the box

put the base back into place, and reconnect to the top

take it for a drive, you'll be amazed how much meatier your 16v sounds, especially when it comes on cam!!

Yep i did that one on my old 16v years ago, its amazing how restrictive the air intake is. Drill the box out too!

Don't forget if your gonna do that to leave the headlight plastic plate off. it normally fits behind the light to keep the noise down, also if your really good fit a hoover pipe to the hole mentioned above and then put it in the gap in the bumper by the towing eye.
