Jenvey ITB's and Airbox Anyone?
 

Hello,

Has anyone fashioned or found a solution for an airbox for the Jenvey individual throttle bodies? Other than the usual bolt on a GT3 intake complication on top.

I love the way they sound but for a long drive they are a bit loud.

An airbox should dampen the intake noise quite a bit while still retaining the trumpets.

I look forward to hearing some suggestions.

Regards, Steve

I have ITBs with ITG filters on a pretty extreme 3.5 twin plug engine and induction noise is surprisingly low. Exhaust is quite quiet because of a rather large dp motorsport muffler.

Short answer is change your muffler.

Fredie,

The best solution is to put 996 GT3 intakes on top of the ITBs. I am pretty sure that Rothsport has done this Jenvey ITBs. It would look like this:

The ability to do this requires an ECU that could control a flapper solenoid. Well, I guess you could use an RPM switch too. This setup gives you better midrange torque and supposedly does not hurt top end power.

Agreed on the muffler. It is a bit loud as well.
I see Jenvey offers an air box to fit the base plates I have. I was hoping someone may have tried them with a cone filter retaining the velocity stacks/trumpets inside. Or other concepts similar as such.
I like the idea of the long runners and etc.. of GT3 intake but it seems like a lot of fiddling and extra weight for perhaps minimal gain.
My engine has plenty of low mid and top charge.

I was trying to help you get quieter induction...I guess that is not what you really wanted....quieter induction with more midrange torque. I'll keep my ideas to myself......

I did not mean to shoot your ideas down. It is a proven solution. I was just wanting to find a different solution.
I appreciate your input.
