[urq] How to quiet an EFIed 20V?

[dgraber460 at aol.com]

I have found an alternative that I have been using, that came out of a Nissan Altima. I have picked up several from the breakers and just to experiment, I cut another hole in the bottom section of one of them about 2" in dia, and it howled like bloody hell just from that much of a small "enhancement". 
I'm away from home, but will send pics and info when I get back ( tomorrow or Sat). It sits very nicely in the "space provided" with no body mods.
I have some of these and can send you one if interested. I remember quite clearly how you helped me so much at S-fest some years ago when I had picked up a new to me URQ and was facing the prospect of driving back to Denver with little to no headlights. I have always felt like I owe you since then. Maybe time to square it up and pay an old debt?

Hi everyone,
I drove today the 20V 034-EFIed urQ of my good friend Eric. While it is
ndeed very fast, as in spinning the front tires on second gear, the intake
oise is way too loud. Each movement of the throttle that produce boost
roduce also that dreaded intake noise. I mean, anything from the tiniest
cceleration to wide open throttle produce the noise. Only while cruising it
s bearable. 
The setup is a cone filter bolted directly to the turbo inlet where the
tock airbox was. I'm quite sure one can create a custom enclosure there to
ncapsulate the cone filter, but is there another solution ? 
Any insight welcome.
