If people drill a hole in it to help vent pressure they may as well just remove it as all gets filtered if its got a gaping hole in the filter. |

Always made me wonder, why you wanted a filter on the exhaust? BMW i3 Electric Car

I think it's just there to break up and silence the escaping air, it's quieter to have the air broken up by the sintered brass than just an open pipe, drilling a hole just helps it to exhaust quicker and still keeps some form of silencer......

I think its also the inlet as well as the exhaust, might be wrong though |

Years since I looked at one, ignore my post then... does seem a bit pointless drilling a hole in a filter though...!! Pete

I agree Pete… and I’m one of those that drilled a hole in theirs. The car was stuck up in extended mode and only supposed to go 30mph. Garage quoted £700 to fit a new compressor. Think you can get the silencer bit for less than £40. The only time you can really hear the compressor running is if the seats are folded and the carpets up.

It looks like you can get the silencers pretty cheaply from Ali Express - if you know what thread size to order :
