Have I done the right thing?

I've taken off my Popcharger and put the standard filter box back on. At the moment its the old (grubby) paper filter but I'll put a K&N panel filter in as I prefer not to have to fiddle with it every service - and as I have a cold air intake it may resist the wet mud that gets in a bit better.

Instantly the the car is more mellow sounding, and as i do a lot of motorway miles this is mainly what I'm after.

I'm not sure what to expect. I think the engine will be a bit less revvy, particularly at higher revs as its a bit more restrictive than the Popcharger but until I have a blast when the K&N arrives and get used to it I don't know if I will notice much.

Anyone done this reversion before that can comment?

 

I also have an up-rev tune so will i notice much difference or is it time for a re-tune?

want noise, buya pop charger or something in that style.

 

want to play the numbers game down the pub, go standard airbox flyboy velocity stack mod and a performance panel filter. then get it remapped.

 

with NA tuning on the zed your fighting for the difference of about 5 bhp. you'd never notice the difference.

 

noise in some ways is a better direction, if it sounds faster your brain thinks it is and the butt dyno registers higher.

I have a Pop Charger and a modded oem airbox and swap them over regularly...

 

Pop Charger = lovely sound, very slight hesitation but a bit more eager at higher revs.

 

OEM airbox = definitely more responsive but a little less ooomph at higher revs and as the op says less drama so calmer on the motorway
