GTTuner Posted January 16, 2009 Author Share Posted January 16, 2009 I'll post some step by step pic's tonight on how to quiet it down. Did this mod a while back, removed it last weekend and had to reinstall last night because the noise was rediculous. I had forgotten how well it worked.

XLeezardx Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 So the K&N sounds bad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spec B Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 It is real loud..I loved it for like 2 weeks, now it is kinda annoying. I am now trying to figure out how to run my FMIC with the stock intake box... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XLeezardx Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Can you describe to me how it sounds the best you can? Like is it loud during WOT then a big Wooooosh when you let off? I wanted to get this Intake but if its too loud I dont want it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spec B Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Since i am running a FMIC it may amplify the sound..but I am getting a pretty loud turbo spool up sounds, and super loud BOV sounds. the BOV is aftermarket (greddy RS), but it is recurculated, with this intake it sounds as loud as VTA BOVs. Honestly though, my opinion is not worth much since I never ran it with the stock TMIC and BOV. What bothers me most is the tubo spool up..it is pretty loud even at partial throttle.

GTTuner Posted January 16, 2009 Author Share Posted January 16, 2009 It's worse with a FMIC and a soft spring in the BOV, it is a constant swooooshh at any throttle opening above 20%, but except WOT. Half throttle is absurdly loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spec B Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 ^ +1 That is exactly it..partial throttle drives me nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pierce88 Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Ya im also running a front mount intercooler and its really loud. Especially like you said at partial throttle. Iv looked at every possible way to run the stock box and it just isnt possible. -Pierce P.S. Im running the WBR front mount for anyone who is interested.

korpsepatrol Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Lol you guys should hear the fujita cai i mean don't get me wrong it does its job well, but it sounds like its sucking up squirrels off the road. I definitely want a way to lower the noise, i was thinking of constructing a box similar to the avo or cobb box. 2008 6mt Legacy Gt Spec B DGM - Not so Stock/Work in progress 2006 5mt Legacy Gt OBP - Sold 2005 5eat Legacy Gt OBP - RIP R.I.P Coxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsme Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Well I got a APS inlet and I pushed my typhoon father into the fender. http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u156/itsmebryan/131450.jpg With my 20g it sounds like a jet taking of or a blower.

itsme Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 You can use your stock inlet with your FMIC. I have seen a picture you have to rotate the box and not use the bottom half of the airbox.

pierce88 Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 I had that before my K&N... Pretty ghetto and definately loud... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fonts Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 The sound of a CAI is not for everyone. I put my AVO intake on the car about a week or 2 before completing my turbo swap. Absolutely HATED the sound. The wastegate flutter absolutely killed me. Fortunately swapped to a BB turbo and the sound is like music to my ears. The 15 lb actuator probably helps as well ....

I have a 2.4 7cm 20g and a Synapase Synchronic EWG and it hits @20 psi around 3300 -3400 rpms and hold @ 20 psi all the way to 7000 rpms and it only varies about .25 psi all the way.
