VX220 Turbo Airbox mods - sound comparison

A vid for the purposes of VX220 Turbo owners who are contemplating modding their airbox in the 'Timbo' fashion but are unsure as to the noise they can expect. Three sepearate vids filming 3 stages of tune:

1) Standard airbox (and standard VXT for that matter)
2) Modded airbox (trumpets removed and holes drilled)
3) Modded airbox (with itg panel filter) - also has pro-alloy pipe, MMG underdriven pulley and enlaged plenum but these wont affect the noise too much.

The video mainly came about as a few of the lads from the vx220.org.uk forum were unsure as to the change in noise and so were consequently reluctant to go ahead with the mod. It's a worthwhile mod to do as you do get a more responsive throttle and the noise isn't as intrusive as in the video if you choose to drive in a reserved fashion (however unlikely that may be in a car like this :P )!

N.B. all videos include the standard exhaust system - soon to be full larini :D
