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! |

QUOTE(sixnotfour @ Jun 22 2019, 01:41 PM)  Be very careful with the Honda housings.... I've got them and they really cut the induction noise to a pleasant bass note. HOWEVER the passenger side one let enough rain water in to hydro lock the engine.... weak hi torque starter gear shattered before bending a rod. I've since fashioned a rain hat out of a five quart oil jug for insurance...tacky but effective so far. Be nice for someone to design something that looks better... |
