mccorry Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 I should have specified it more clearly: I love free/cheap *cute female* mods. You got a sister? Yeah... I do... but she is neither free.... nor cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubieDriver Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 Yeah... I do... but she is neither free.... nor cheap. That's okay, I've got some potentials in Georgia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubieDriver Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 Yes, but if you look just a little farther down the page on the same sub forum this lives in you see the intake silenser removal thread... with nearly 35,000 views and 79 (80 now) less posts. That's a roughly 38:1 vpp ratio So we're STILL #2! Rats! Oh well, you win some, you lose some, and I'm not helping much by adding more posts, which reduces our ratio even further.... I'll be quiet now, and let the thread get back on topic. Speaking of which, I'm planning on doing the HogZawst mod this weekend, if I don't get too busy with other things. I'm at least putting my stock airbox back on. My car's former owner put an SPT intake on it, and, after reading about Cobb's testing of the SPT intake, I'm definitely taking it off, soon. Anybody want an SPT intake for Leg GT? Cheap! It comes highly recommended (to not install it). It might be good for a bookend, if someone else already has one we could make a set! It's a little large for a paperweight, but might make a good conversation piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Effin Ponderous Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 Time to throw a new twist to the thread...The official DeHogged list!! I Un-Hogged or De-Hogged her today. It just sounds wrong at low rpm's. Don't take it personally Hogger, I think any after market exhaust for thousands times the price will do the same thing. Boxsters sound like they're missing at low speed and should be kept quiet until WOT and 3K minimum. Look at it this way, if everyone who posted when they did the mod posts when they undo it, this will be the biggest thread in the history of .com!!!

I so disagree I think the BEST part about the sound of a boxer engine is the low RPMs. It sounds damn mean for a 4 cylinder engine with that nice low snarly rumble.

Effin Ponderous Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 I guess it's subjective. It just sounds like a 6 cyl running on only four. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Above 3k it gets muffled by the turbo anyway.. At least when you're not free-revving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBT Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 I want to hear that boxer burble all the way from barely turning over (which certainly helps with clutch engagement) all the way up into the upper registers of the RPM range - read full lilt or aural nirvana. That's what makes a Subaru boxer burble so special. It calls to you AND to those who are used to hearing the typical I-4 EL header'd hopefuls - "that was something different and it sounds good".

Effin Ponderous Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 I think the problem I have is more that I drive a 5EAT. It's not like I can rev her up on the take off and keep the revs high easily. With the auto, it literally sounds like I'm sputtering away until I get up to acceptable rpms. At least you guys can keep the revs up and it will always sound great. So maybe you just list this mod with a 5EAT disclaimer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSiWRX Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 ^ I just think that this is a matter of personal tastes, as brother Effin so well-puts. There are just people who don't like that "miss"-like sound. I, for one, love it. The radical-cam sound that the old muscle-cars make truly have me drooling all the time. The more rumble-'n-miss, the better.

The more rumble-'n-miss, the better. Personal taste. I defintely agree and I hadn't thought about the difference between the MT and AT brethren. I think if I had an AT, I might view the mod completely differently. We've all heard the autobox rice rockets roaring up through the gears only to hear that "sag" between upshifts. For those of us with MTs, there's no way to mistake it for anything but an MT.... Very subjective but imho HZ, V1.0, Stg 2.0 + MT = definite goodness HZ, V1.0, Stg anything + AT = jury's out...

StopSweatinMe Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 I love this mod! While i was getting the oil changed i told the mechanic to do it. He laughed his ass off and asked if i was serious. Then he started it up and was shocked at the sound. I must admit i was too. The rumble is sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
