Follow the large black pipe that runs between engine and battery towards the front of car and down ...

Not sure what a GT has but as it's based on the 147, it's probably the panel filter not the round one fitted to the 156 and V6 models.

Finally installed the autodelta (black) pannel filter, bit of b**ch to get to. Located in front underneath the car. Postitioned vertically, two clips to undo. To be honest not sure if fitted in the right direction.

Outcome: Sounds alot waspier, definitely better thottle response (smother gear change). The grunt noise is louder at 4000-5000rpm in 2nd and all the way up to 5th gear, sounding nicer. Though with the oem filter the grunt noise could be heard starting at around 3000rpm, could hear it better and cleaner in 1st to 2nd gear dont really hear the grunt anymore. Gains hav'nt noticed anything yet. To be honest dont think it will. Overall good, though lost the clean grunt at 1st to second gear.
When accelarating at stand still. Hear the waspiering again from 2000-4000rpm, 4500rpm onwards you can hear the grunt.

Taking the car out tommrrow again to do further testing il keep you posted
