Howdy all :D

my first post and quite a gay one at that...

a friend of mine has an e36 325 coupe, standard. when taking off the air box and revving, i fell in love with the sound...
(dont ask why we did it, just wanted to know what it sounded like...? maybe to much time on our hands?)

so my question - if i got an e30 325, would it sound the same? (metal mesh cone to replace the box)

many thanks Rob

It may do but you might lose some power? or am i rong?
At my work experience stripped the engine etc and we started it and revved it witout airbox sounded pretty nice then was all boring when we put the airbox back on
