So yesterday I finally decided to put in my new exhaust. The items installed were a TurboXS turbo back, and a Grimmspeed up-pipe. All of the pieces where jet-hot coated in extreme sterling. Some things were a pita, worst of all was the side bolt for the turbo support bracket. I have a whine that shows when I rev now sorta sounds like the sound that the SPT intake made when I had that on? has anyone else noticed increased intake sound when installing TBE and up? For information the only other mod that I am currently running is a silencer delete. I am going to get tuned tonight.
very nice, thats the TBE I'm running. Are you sure teh whining your hearing now when you rev isn't just the turbo spooling?
You're going to hear some more noise with the TBE, it's a thinner pipe with no shielding compared to the stock downpipe. You'll be hearing a lot more of the turbo and wastegate. That's the same exhaust I've got, and I'm extremely happy with mine.
Yeah, my turbo noise opened up a ton with the TXS stealthback as well. If it sounds like a helicopter under the hood and sounds like it is coming right from your glovebox, it is just wastegate flutter, and completely normal.
I have some serious wastegate flutter, and would kill to get rid of it. I'll start a new thread as to keep from threadjacking. Nice lookin tbe!
