hmm listen closely to the sound when i get into 2nd gear or when i hit 5k rpm on 1st gear...there is no sound on 3rd gear
that whiney sound that sounds like a supercharger is normal??? But I don't get how it only does that during 1st-2nd gear
i'll let others chime in on this, but from what I've heard when I've driven sti's and rode in them, they sound similar.
I believe when i had my stock exhaust system it sounded the same like that, I dont think there is an issue. If you take it to the dealership they will probably tell you the same thing.
So thats the exhaust?? I thought the sound was coming from the tranny. Becuz like I said only 1st-2nd Gear
Um...Subarus = Having wierd sounds Get use to it, if not, get an evo =P Your tranny is fine, the sound is from your tranny kvang just has this insanely loud exhaust, so that's why he can't hear it no more. Swing to Firestone this friday, we'll talk.
E engine M management basically they mean having someone tweak it a little to account for changes from the CAI
Well I don't get any engine check lights. It's must not be too much of a change to trigger anything. So I would go that it's safe for now.
um... the damage you worry about is the stuff you arent hearing internal through knock/detonation....
well dont cars have a knock sensor?.. well i mean if i can get a open ECU tune it should just be fine then right?
Wow. Just wow. Do you actually bother to do any research before you start throwing things at your car? Ever done a search under "AEM CAI" on Nasioc? (Insert sound of crickets here) And how does it perform much better than the SPT unit? I'm not waving the SPT flag here, I want to hear how/why it's "much better". As far as the noise goes, I didn't hear anything that raised any warning flags. Doing 70 in a residential area is a real bright move though. Haven't we already had 8-9 threads about your car making noise already?
Whiney noise? Sounds and acts like electrical interference? I have heard it in mine since I got it. I am over it.
Screw it, just run 87 in it. it has a knock sensor correct??:laugh::laugh: Tic Toc Tic Toc Tic Toc Russ
Couldnt have said it better my self... YOU LOSE! Good Day Sir! Oh on another note... you don't care about sounds best exhaust and bov best sounds pssshhh... but that small normal whiny noise just drives you nuts?
I would think that you would have learned to be more cautious about what you say around here by now.... FAIL!
your car can do anything if you want it to, i wanted my car to run well on turbos, and then it was so
you have also have the super block... which only will blow if it comes in contact with krypotonite...
And the Uber L337 transmisison. That will only a-splode when you're sidestepping on the 1320 with NOS.
seriously, use the search tool and stop beating the living piss out of the car and you wont run into these problems. just a thought, logic in it is wonderful, but i doubt that means much to you reviewing your posts
The 6 speed definately has more of a gear whine to it in first and second. It does have gears that are almost twice as wide as the 5MT.
well yes that sound drives me nuts! im just saying. and i can prove the SPT intake sucks and why this AEM CAI is so much better. you see i've been racing my friend with a 2006 Type-S RSX. He has Cat-Back, CAI, and Headers. I lost to him everytime with the stock intake and the SPT and i couldnt figure out whats wrong. I put on my AEM tada! fuk this time he couldnt even catch up. i mean this is my experience. im not gonna go look at some test results founded on the net and say that items bad. besides whats the fun if you dont beat up ur car? might as well get a kia
well isnt Mod/Maintenance/Tech forums for? to find out something you dont know? i mean i came on this forum to ask questions and learn, not to get criticized by people who already know what they are doing
yeah but there is an extent where you could utilize the search function and search here, or on another subaru forum such as Nasioc... cover the bases you know. and if you do plan to beat the living bejesus out of the car and racing it, dont be surprised if things to arise.
ok, well from my experiences with basically all subarus, the tranny and diffs whine, thats all thats to it. maybe since you have been into the power a little more than normal use you should think about changing out the fluids
well do u suppose changing the fluid before its due or just might as well change it now? maybe use Scotty's Cocktail?
