So there is a very significant noise difference between my 1.7 FM my car and the 2 L that I just drove down from Oregon. I know the cars are not identical so it’s not a complete apples to apples but the car with the carbs is significantly louder under pretty much all conditions.
I would expect an increased level of noise because unlike the FI system and the carbs are more open to the environment via the two air filters and how they’re mounted, just curious if that’s consistent with other people’s experiences? Thanks and happy Saturday all! |

Its a carb noise ....
Thats the sound of simplicity and reliability and performance (Ask any /6 owner) So if your looking for road manners at the cost of Stupid complexity ( in the analog age) then f.i is the ticket |

I ran K&N's for a while and there was too much induction noise over and around most RPM driving range for me. The Honda bike mod seems to work for many with 4 cyl or there is a $$$$ CSP setup which is a fine piece. |
