⚡️ Enhanced MSD 8830 Red Noise Capacitor Review

Arrived on time and as described. This did not fix the stereo noise problem in my '79 Corvette with MSD EFI and 6AL. I have a small static sound that increases with the volume of the sound being played. Not sure what is causing this.

Works great in European vehicles to eliminate unwanted noise in aftermarket audio systems. It would be nice to have a slightly better mounting system (probably side mount) and slightly larger ports. For us shop folks, making something or adding a few washes isn't a problem, but weekend folks fixing their cars may require a visit to the store.

I used this in my Camaro 72 Big Block. I recently had a defective OEM radio repaired. The condenser reduced the ignition noise problem but did not eliminate it. The sound is tolerable, but the noise is still there. Installation was easy: I used peephole connectors to connect the large power and ground wires to the capacitor's spade lugs. It comes with a rubber cap that slips over the ferrules to protect the hot wire.

I am a professional auto and marine mechanic. I install many MSD components. I'm shocked that these capacitor protection boxes, which they call filters, aren't installed or sold with an MSD box very often to protect the electronics inside the boxes from surges that damage the MSD electronics inside the boxes. I'm shocked they aren't sold as a set or option with MSD blocks.

Needed something to filter out the noise from the MSD 6A I installed in my 95 Mustang GT. Without any filtering, an ignition sound can be heard even with a key/door signal. Installed next to the 6A box, this capacitor eliminated this noise and also did a good job of filtering out the small noise that could be heard on the FM radio/CD. AM needs additional filtering, like the American International S-15A line filter, their antenna filter helps even more, but I don't think you can ever get rid of…
