does de baffle mean taking this tube out ?
it seems like its attached to the plastic itself..
hmmm
bump .....
No it is not. Yank it slightly and it'll come off
yank what off ?
i just want to de baffle my box
Yea, you have to take out the plastic tube thing that is the baffle. The easiest way is to remove the airbox (takes about a min) Then you will see a small plastic tab on one of the sides (dont know which.) Push the tab in and then the baffle should just slide right out.
sup p3rsian..that cone shape thing is what I removed..see that little circle thing with that tab..push the tab in and pull it..it should come off.
can u guys goto paint and modify the pic to show me what to do exactly.... sorry for the trouble im a newbOriginally posted by IgotMy18s

here u go
i tried everything pushing down the circle thing on the top .. but i think its like attached to the bottom of the box. if you look closely you might be able to tell where i think its attached. seems like the end of the baffle (back of box) there is something coming from the bottom of the box and attached to the baffle
if u see me around san diego..say wassup or something.
im so confused
u got any type of im ?
yeah..i do click on the aim icon or IM at onewhitebmw

What does the "de baffle" process actually do?
Better air flow....better sound?
2000 Nogaro Blue Audi S4: Tein Basic Coilovers, RS4 Engine and Transmission mounts, APR snub mount, RS4 clutch, APR 1 Bar program, center vent boost gauge, Enkei rpm2 18" wheels, HID Ecodes, AWE Drivetrain Stabilizer.
looks at this pic..you can see the air flow has to go different shapes from smaller to bigger then finally reaches the outlet.
you can see the air flow is restricted
yep yep .. sounds great !!!
its awesome that it works over 3rpm ..
anyways IgotMy18s do you have like a tube or something connected to it ?
i actually think my car is running cooler now :-S
i had a m43 box on mine which had a tiny hole.
yep yep .. sounds great !!!

holy triple post batman!!!
so you guys just removed the trumpet piece then? and thats it?
and it made it louder huh? kind of that subtle, nice loud i'd assume( i know subtle and loud don't exactly go together, but that's the best way i can describe it ).
have you run into any issues by doing this? i guess if you're air filter is clean that you probably wont be running into any issues huh?

oh, one more thing: is the baffle there just to reduce noise or is it there for another engineering purpose?

I'd be interested in this too. This does nothing but modify the sound of the car I take it? Also, you can just as easily put it back to normal if you don't like the sound right? Since you got it working p3ersian maybe you want to explain what exactly you did for the newbs.
It's an easy 10 minute mod. I did mine this morning. Simply remove the airbox and unsnap the baffle. Removed the snorkel leading into the box and replace the airbox. You now have a larger intake pre-filter that allows more air passage and there is a subtly louder intake noise that is noticable around 3k and up. It totally pieces back together in 5 minutes if you change your mind :
Good job P3rsian and Igotmy18's!
Funny thing.. when i debaffled my airbox and put a K&N drop -in filter in I noticed about the same gains as my old short ram cold air intake. Debaffling has to be one of the best free mods you can do IMO -
i went ahead and did it....i love it
sounds great, especially with my exhaust:
