Hi guys,
I have a ractive sf100 conical filter installed in my siena 1.6.When you floor the accelerator,the intake sound is a lot.I had a k&n filter before and compared to the ractive the intake sound wasnt too much.
Does the sound that the filter makes,signify anything?
for eg:is the filter sucking in more air or less air,if the intake roar is more or less.
Why is it that different intake filters sound different when they are sucking in air.Is this in relation to the quality of mesh used?
why does the ractive make so much more sound?Is there anything wrong with it?

P.S:Mods please move this thread if required.Didn't know whether i should have posted this query in the K&N vs RACTIVE thread.
