Finally i got parts for my car....

[20th1519]

Well i can finally wrench on my car. I got a blacked out grill and a used neuspeed intake. Its not much but now i get to pop her cherry with her first mods. With the intake i can hear the factory diverter valve. Am i a ricer for wanting to hear air? just my ramblings for the night

[TROLL]

ha almost every WRX guy i know does the 'intake silencer mod' which in theory will allow the stock intake to flow a little more freely, but the real reason is because it gives you that intake sound and lets you hear the stock bypass valve and turbo spool. its all good...

i know i know....im telling you...once i went from a domestic to a foreign i am a different person. I am actually caring about stuff that doesnt make me fast. :screwy:

Hell, I have domestic, and I put a blow off valve and an intake in, pretty much just to make it louder! lol. But the intake did help performance a LOT!

You're not alone man!!! I got the Injen Intake (3") to let my turbo breathe better and get more air than the stock airbox, but I must say that I too wanted to hear the stock surge valve! I didnt even need to install my MOPAR BOV Conversion Plate cause the surge valve is so loud people swear I added a BOV. So now I have a MOPAR BOV plate sittin in my room if anybody knows someone that wants one! :mrgreen:

Once I replace my intercooler with the AGP Direct Fit which should hopefully be tested and available by the end of the year then I will swap out my stock IC pipes with hard pipes and install an HKS SSQ BOV.

the sound is part of the driving experience.

And it's good for scaring old people on the side of the read! :eek:

so tru...i scared the hell out of this old lady the other day. she was tryin to cut me off, so i revved it up to bout 5000 RPMs, surgve valve went of, exhaust does that lovely popping sound and she jumped! LOL...priceless. needless to say, she stopped and i continued on my merry way!!! :wiggle:

[EaglesChico]

Got to say sound is intimidating!!

I know a kid in the West Chester area that has a turbo vr6 jetta and man that thing is LOUD. dam fast too!
The external wastegate is deafening! sounds like something is going to break!

We pulled up next to this dude in a talon thinkin he was all that and man he just revved once and the kid nearly SHat himself


good times :rock:
