Borla Hussh! :banana:

 

i would not get the performance exhaust from dealer either, i would go with HKS

 

In Subaru performance magazine they only claim a 3 peak hp gain with the SPT cat back @ 70 mph. I think the Blitz Nur spec claims around 15 hp. Like Choku Dori said, Its really loud but if you put the silencer in it isnt bad at all. Im sure the silencer will make you loose some hp though.

 

I'm not too sure about that. As far as sources tell, you really make no performance gains from removing it.

 

Are you talking about the silencer that is inserted in the tip of the Blitz Nur Spec or the factory reasonator?

 

actaully it may add some tourqe because it will make back pressure

 

I was kind of thinking that also but I thought it might loose some power at the top end.

thanks

 

The factory one leading to the intake. Am I misinformed?

 

the intake silencer is harmless...you gain nothing, and you lose nothing in power. all it does is make your car about 10% (at most) noisier.

 

With a quite annoying "whooshing" sound.

 

there's nothing wrong with the woosh! lol it sounds cool to me

 

hey! nothing wrong with a Dodge 600 Turbo with an SSQV

seriously, there really IS no whoosh with the intake elbow delete. I mean...if you listen REALLY REALLY hard, and its quiet all around, YOU might be able to hear it in 2nd or 3rd gear before the road noise overwhelms it at higher speed....but its not loud enough for anyone to notice. I think it was a waste-of-time mod. However, I'm currently trying to fabricate a water resevoir that will fit into the empty fender space for an intercooler sprayer. I figure I could get about a 2 gallon tank in there if I can figure out how to shape it right, secure it properly, and locate a fill and drain pipe into the motor compartment.

 

Yeah, I guess I was unsure of whether I liked it or not at the time. My then fiance, now wife absolutely hated it, so you know how that goes.

Oh, and when I tried it, I took the whole thing out, not just the elbow. That's probably why the whoosh was so loud.

 

You are correct, there is a silencer on the intake but I was wondering if you were talking about the silencer that inserts into the tailpipe of the Blitz Nur Spec or the reasonator on the factory exhaust. Now I know you were talking about the one on the intake.
