Noticed that a lot of us were noting the loss of sound from the sound symposer. I was attributing it to the cold temperatures and thought that with the return of warm weather, it would start working again.
Well today, it reached nearly 60 degrees. Took my car out for a spirited drive and go no sound from the sound symposer at all. Car sounded like a normally aspirated Focus!
I got to thinking and swapped out the Green Filter, replacing it with the OEM paper filter and the sound was restored!
I think it must have something to do with the open ended design of the Green Filter as this didn't happen when I had my K&N filter in with a closed end.
So, if you like the sound enough from the sound symposer that you miss it like I did, the Green Filter may not be the choice for you.
I'd imagine that when I replace the exhaust the sound that goes missing with the Green Filter won't be missed so much.
