JJH Posted 3, June 2016 Report Share Posted 3, June 2016 Hi guys proud new owner of a 2013 265. I only picked it up yesterday. Loving it so far wouldn't mind a touch more induction noise. Anyone have a good recommendation for a good panel filter and where to get it from. I'm in brisbane and looking fowarded to meeting a few of you over time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckovski Posted 3, June 2016 Report Share Posted 3, June 2016 Good choice! I've got a k&n filter, I've heard BMC are good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dongerz1 Posted 3, June 2016 Report Share Posted 3, June 2016 Take the foam out of the airbox as well. Can hear it after that Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJH Posted 6, June 2016 Author Report Share Posted 6, June 2016 All good thanks mate, found a shop locally that sell them for $88 which I thought was pretty good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No152 Posted 6, June 2016 Report Share Posted 6, June 2016 Looking good!! Will be interesting to get your take on the difference the filter alone makes to induction noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks mate, will get it soon just haven't had any time! Have you done the center res delete? Just wondering if you went somewhere locally?

MikeC90 Posted 8, June 2016 Report Share Posted 8, June 2016 Changing the filter makes next to no difference, but removing the sound deadening foam from inside of the airbox does Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJH Posted 8, June 2016 Author Report Share Posted 8, June 2016 Yeah I was thinking of starting by pulling that out and seeing what it sounds like, it may be all I need. I'm not looking for too much noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dongerz1 Posted 8, June 2016 Report Share Posted 8, June 2016 Can hear a lot more induction noise once I pulled my foam out, its great. Mid box chop is something everyone recommends. Any local muffler shop can chop it out and weld a straight pipe in there. Great first mod also 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJH Posted 8, June 2016 Author Report Share Posted 8, June 2016 (edited) Yeah that is also on the list, found someone in Bris that will do it for $100. My only concern I don't want it to be too loud I use the car to commute to work so has to be bearable! Edited 8, June 2016 by JJH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No152 Posted 8, June 2016 Report Share Posted 8, June 2016 Thanks mate, will get it soon just haven't had any time! Have you done the center res delete? Just wondering if you went somewhere locally? Mine has the Akro exhaust and no sound deadening so plenty of good noise straight off the showroom floor. Folks also suggest fold the rear seat backs down allioes more sound in. Very cheap mod and may give what you are seeking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJH Posted 9, June 2016 Author Report Share Posted 9, June 2016 Does anyone worry about pulling the foam out of the filter box. Surely it's there for a reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dongerz1 Posted 9, June 2016 Report Share Posted 9, June 2016 think its only for sound deadening, Can always put it back in if you don't like but I love the sound it makes. second on putting backseats down while driving Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJH Posted 10, June 2016 Author Report Share Posted 10, June 2016 Took it out, didn't notice any difference to be honest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBWL265 Posted 19, July 2016 Report Share Posted 19, July 2016 (edited) Sorry to revive an older thread. But firstly, welcome to the forum! Beautiful car! Have you done any mods to it yet? I removed the air filter foam and it did change the sound slightly without being at all intrusive. I too have thought about mid muffler or back box delete. I'm now thinking about a scorpion cat back instead. My question for anyone who knows though is on the airfilter. I tried searching but this seemed the most relevant thread. I like the idea of an upgraded panel filter. I recognise it won't give a discernible power gain. It may give a slight noise change but that's about it. But as a mental thing I just like the idea of being able to say I've done the upgrade. Stupid as that is. However that's where my question comes from, I won't get a filter that doesn't filter as well.. K&n and bmc would always seem to be the safe bets but then I've heard people on other Renault forums write about how the oil from these filters has coated their intake tract and ruined mafs. That made me think a non oiled filter would be best? Otherwise I'll just stick with the paper which has no downsides besides being disposable. Opinions of the majority?
