yer intake noise on those rattly holdens is noisier than the exhaust

put a throttle stopper on the butterfly or if its fly by wire put a block under pedal

put a pipe around 1m or so on the intake to the air cleaner box then put 1 or 2 car wash sponges in there

helps reduce power and air into enigne

will go **** but this might help passing

Thanks for the prompt replies guys.

The noise isn't from induction roar. I should have mentioned that I tried it without any filter at all, then with the pod, then with the standard MAF and airbox, it made no difference to the sound level at all. This is because the motor is under virtually no load when just free reving to 4000rpm so it has very little airflow. At WOT is a different story though and I will use Sideshow's idea of stuffing foam into the stock airbox, (thanks Sideshow)

It's basically just the mechanical noise of the engine itself that's causing the problem. I seem to remember reading about somebody covering the engine in a blanket to pass the driveby noise test, then almost having a fire!!!

Help...
