What do you think about lining the air-cleaner box on an ATV to cut the loud intake noise ? Feasible? Effective?

It will surely help, however if your box parameters allow, I would go with a thicker gauge material.

Feasible, certainly--effective, can't tell. Depends on the depth and volume of the box, and the nature of the noise--never run across much "loud intake noise". If it's vibrational or induced by the operation of the engine, it would probably help. If it's air being simply sucked into the engine, probably not. There are other materials like this out there that are a lot more cost-effective.

The liner will stick to just about anything if cleaned before hand. It worked on my transmission tunnel.

It is in some way, but just to let it run as an air cleaner it would be to noisy and not cost effective.

I have seen the come on new high end units. It works well to cut down the noise.

Not sure of a better choice. The panels could be installed on the ceiling with spray on adhesive glue which can be purchased at your local automotive parts store. Should help contain and buffer the noise. I believe the panels are usually installed on the walls of your audio video room.

The noise level is about that of a vacum cleaner. The air noise is like air from a compressor. Depends on your neighbors . I can dry by toyota 4 runner in about 15 minutes. (completely dry)

It would be well worth the money. Any mat that absorbs acoustic waves like this one will dampen engine decibals too. Hope this helps.

A box of the Swiffer dry dusting cloths will come in handy for this. I use a single layer in front of my computer air intake fans, do the same with any of these fans. It won't look very pretty, but they work well to keep dirt out.

This is a dual hose unit, so it needs an intake and exhaust. I guess you could cut a hole into the attic space, but i wouldn't. Also, the intake air would be super hot, which will reduce the efficiency. This unit is not very efficient to begin with.

How is the best way to go about mounting the air compressor in the trunk? And having easy removal for the spare. Is there a loud horn noise and a lower horn noise?

Yes, I do it all the time with ATVs and cars that are rarely used. I thought it was a bad idea for a long time, then started a car with it on without paying attention, no harm.

Hello. This kit is not for cleaning intake. Intake cleaner is a different setup.

Styrofoam is supposed to be there. Cheap and effective way of absorbing and reducing outside noise from coming in through the AC

You'd probably have a lot of wind noise for each other and have to likely speak very loudly. I've used them with a friend with both of us using 3/4 helmets, but we both had shields on them. There was a good bit of wind noise that way, so I'd imagine you'll just have it amped up. Engine noise isn't so much an issue as the wind blowing directly into and swirling around your face and the microphone.

No way! They absolutely need a box to create air pressure. That said if they resonate into the engine compartment they might work ok.

Depends greatly on your engine and exhaust setup. I used this together with my existing Flowmaster muffler to get rid of the "Flowmaster drone" sound. Glass packs have a unique sound quality and we'll reduce the noise compared to straight pipes. If your truck has no mufflers then this will definitely help to reduce the noise. If you have mufflers then these will act as additional resonators and reduce the noise a little more. If your exhaust is damaged with rust and holes then no amount of additional mufflers will quite it down.

Compared to the original air cleaner assembly (on an old Citroen DS 21) it does make a bit of "induction roar", especially when under hard acceleration. I think this sort of sound neat though! I bough it because the original ones stress crack, and not as a performance item. You MAY OR MAY NOT notice an actual performance gain. Those are my opinions...

In all honesty I haven't rode it since I installed. But it does fill in the gap a bit with the outer flap you could use the foam like goes around an window air unit to seal. It did bring cabin noise down inside just ridding it around the house. I am planning in ridding this weekend if at all possible you can ask again hopefully I can give an answer
