Started to mod the car!! First real mod beyond rear window tint.
So, i installed the stillen g3 intake. My first impression is that it is pretty quiet. I was expecting more of a sucking sound. Maybe you would get that out of a short ram intake i suppose.
The last couple intakes i put on were short rams i remember. The sound difference on my subaru wrx was huge! I mean night and day for sure.
The funny thing is that the sound of the exhaust seems to have changed as much as the intake sound. So, yeah?? I put on a new intake and now my exhaust sounds different! Maybe i am crazy.
But, anywho, the stillen g3 intake is pretty quiet. It seems to have added some power. I haven't dynoed or anything.
Well I am sure when I get the exhaust on it will sound different! That will have to wait a couple days.

Actually thats normal...your exhaust should sound drastically different at WOT.

The Gen3 is further up than a Gen 1 and 2 and enclosed by the radiator and front fascia, so you won't hear that sucking sound as much. But, there is a nice growl that comes with the Gen3 for sure. All the baffling and resonators are deleted. All that will be drowned out if you install a CBE.

The G3 intakes are most audible above 5krpm and are definitely more noticeable when paired with the stock exhaust. If you ever have the car on a dyno and stand in front of it during the pull, you will definitely hear the intakes loud and clear!

:iagree:

No haven't done a dyno run yet. But, I am sure you would hear it standing right in front of the car...lol...fun! But, having them on almost a week I noticed the deeper growl at high rpm and under a load. Pretty cool. Like two big deep horns.
Tonight, we put on the stillen exhaust!!!! Pretty big difference. I think quiet at idle. No real drone or tainting of exhaust sound. It just sounds I think more manly. And then at high rpm it sounds mean. It lets the car make the sound.
Lol... thinking I am pretty happy at this point!! And oh yes by the way the exhaust is like one millimeter from the black crossbar of the subframe or I don't really know what it's called. Part of the car... so yeah it rattles against it a little. I will definitely have to tweak it somehow!! BUT, when it is not hitting it, it sound very smooth.

on my way back towards the camera you can hear the intakes very well.
