Any ideas why this might be the case? Does the F6 come with this part fitted, has anyone got and F6 yet to have a look? I haven't removed this part yet to see what it looks like inside and see what restriction it might have.Benny Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/48025-fg-intake-noise-supressor/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know its just there to reduce the induction noise which is part of the NVH improvements and also contributes to Driveby Noise levels...Well spotted Ben Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/48025-fg-intake-noise-supressor/#findComment-711059 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will have to take mine off and have a look inside I think.

I always wondered what that weird bitta plastic was for...

seventytwo Still have a turbo, it's just on a diesel.

Doesn't look like a restriction at all. Just seems like an expansion chamber for the air when closing the throttle. The inside of the tube is filled with small pin holes that open out into the cone shape internal chamber. Also took some photos up inside the cross over pipe which seems to have a plastic divider internally.

Need to understand how it all works before trying to change things.
