The 2.0 and 2.2 would create more induction noise so your car gets away without one. But don't be disheartened I'm sure your car has lots of other lovely attributes to speak of

Indeed. The 3.0 V6 doesn't even have one because the inlet manifold is (quoting a Peugeot document here) "designed to ... minimise induction roar".Welly wrote:The 2.0 and 2.2 would create more induction noise so your car gets away without one.
Hear that? ROAR!
Does a damn good job though! You don't even get much extra noise revving the engine with a bare throttle body
other than the loud sucking sound you always get when the throttle's opened wide... 
<steve_earwig> I think this forum is more about keeping our cars going with minimal outlay than giving our cars more reason to go bang
