Hello fellow enthusiats

I purchased my 1.8 Connie a year ago with 35k on the clock, it now has 46K. Ever since I have had it I have been aware of induction noise which my mechanic says is just how the car is. I have changed many things including head and associated gaskets and a new exhaust system. Nothing has changed over the year despite full services, inc air filter and the aforementioned head gasket. Also Shannon tube changed and new air box fitted. Sounds like I have a performance air filter fitted.

Is this induction noise (similar to exhaust noise but that is eliminated) on acceleration normal, am I over reactiing or is there a fix for it.
Any help appreciated.

Thank you
Richard Batty
