The silencer is that thecantaner thing attached to the intake tube after the air filter?? is that what you guys are saying you can remove?
No. WHat year do you have? On a D1, it is the little trumpet thing that sticks out from the square air box. Not sure what the D2 set up is...

It's different. This is what BadBuzz is talking about (See pic, circled in red). FYI BadBuzz, don't remove that piece.

Would a snorkle work for your application? It'll ram cold air right down the gullet. I have one, though as far as I know it's never been used for under water application. It's good for keeping the dust out of the intake and works wonders as a bug catcher.

Just a thought :-)

I think a snorkel would be the opposite of what he's trying to accomplish. Snorkels decrease hp by adding a longer path for the air to flow before hitting the throttle body, which is why they're only added for offroading situations, not for preformance purposes.

Now if you were to add a functional hood scoop, and set up a ram air intake, that would slam some cold air in

That's what my original thought was about the snorkel, that it increased the lenght of the path inducing more turbulance and drag on the intake. Manufacturer claims it actually increases intake flow. I bought my disco with the snorkel firmly attached so I have no before/ after experience with it's performance.

Doesn't seem to slow mine down though.

It stabilizes and quiets the air flow and can not be removed.

If I do anything it will be the snorkel, but its pretty far down on my list to do. I get too much stuff wet and muddy under the hood to even consider putting a open element conical filter under my hood.
