Hi All
I have recently had a Safari snorkel fitted to my 2006 ST-X (diesel) and it is noisy as buggery.
The are a couple of noises:
1. There is some induction noise which is only bad around 1500-2000rpm.
2. There is also a higher pitched whistling/sucking sound which happens under moderate to heavy throttle from 1700 - 2500rpm. This is really annoying and is driving me crazy.
I have been told that this is the turbo spooling up.
Please note I am also running a Steinbaun chip.
Does anybody have any ideas whats going on and how I get rid of this noise? I was told to remove the K&N air filter and replace with paper filter. Done this and no change. PS: I did need to clean the air flow LED which where pretty dirty.
Hope somebody can help. Would be interested to hear from other members with similar year model and Safari snorkel fitted. Are you getting the same/similar sounds? If not and you live in Sydney (Ryde), I would like to hook up and compare the sounds.
Regards & thanks
Ian
