Not sure how it'll go on a V8, but on my TDI you get a lovely howl from the intake at about 2000-3000rpm in 3rd. Not as audible in 4th or 5th as wind noise tends to hide it.

Range Rover Blues:
That'l be the turbo.  the 300TDi has an airbox pickup inside the inner wing to mask the induction noise (and provide cold air), ours was much quiter with it refitted.  I'd imagine the length of the snorkel pipe would make the roar louder :D


Steve, the pipework for the snokel will resist the induction of air which effects a draw through LPG.  Fitting a K&N will help wih airflow and might reduce overall restriction.   I get more bits of leaves in my airbox with the snorkel fitted.

They're not recommended for LPG equipped vehicles if it's a single point system - the free flowing aspect of the filter reduces the draw from the mixer and can result in fuel starvation at high engine revs.

Fine on multi-point systems though.
