i just bought twb individual throttle bodies and it is works great...but thing is when i give it more throttle...the itbs screams on the mid to higher ends. is their a way to silence the itbs? i heard you can buy filters for it and take them off for racing for maximum performance but i cant find anyone thats sells them or manufactures...can you guys help me out? pics?

The real question in this thread is: "why?" would anyone ever want to silence the beautiful sound of ITB's? If you wanted to be a sleeper and quiet then you shouldn't have gotten ITB's.

But regardless, filters will only kill a little bit of the sound...but if you put a plenum on it will kill alot of the sound..

 

my itb's are really loud too, so i used a twm air plentium and stock itr air box. now i can't hear them.









edit: put up better pics

Get Mororcyle filters if you want to put them on at the tb. If not get/make a plennum with arm...

 

camero motor won't fit under a civic hood...

 

Camaro you mean?

Sorry as hell to change the sound of ITBs. But as EF9 and others said, make a manifold makshift or something. Good luck at all cost. Please post pics

 

did using the itb air plenum hurt performance at all?

yes the sound of the itbs is awesome...you can real hear the power coming from your engine...but my car is a true sleeper and im trying to go with the "sleeper theme" lol. thanks for the help on the filters...now i have to go and search.

 

ya i'm going for the sleeper look too, that's why i'm rocking the stock air box with my itb's, but when i race it just pop the plentiem off and run them strait. and ya adding the plentiem and filter robs like 30whp. twm make's the box like mine for your ride, and piper filters and itg filters make filters that will fit your throttle bodies. i have a set of piper filters from b4 i had the twm box and they worked nice, didn't have a noticeable power loss.

i'm a big fan of taking stuff off of your car, then putting it back on to make your car feel awesome. I came up with this idea when my friend took off his PS belt then put it back on and loved it. Now i just unplug a spark plug wire every once in a while. Whenever you wanna appreciate your car more just put it back. (j/k about the spark plug thing) must be nice to take off the airbox and gain 30hp
