Smile Wanna hear my new engine?

WOOO so the guys at the shop finally found the problem and fixed it, the basic swap is done, now just waiting for them to hook up boost controller, turbo timer, intake, exhaust, and fmic.

but heres a video from my cellphone of how it sounds with no exhaust, just a cat.

video is choppy but sound comes out clear, kinda. the first engine you hear isnt mine, its a Porsche in the backround

i love the GTE with no exhaust, i daily drive mine with the cutout open, except it sounds a bit meaner than yours, since it's got the first cat delete, and the exhaust exits via a 3" diameter pipe 13" from the engine

So the shop ordered the exhaust, intake and fmic.

We chose the HKS exhaust, anyone have one or know how it sounds? They said it was going to be loud, but i want to know exactly how loud.

shoulda gone with a exhaust cutout, gains you 37 RWHP

the hks does have a nice note, hard to explain it.


youtube supra HKS exhaust or something, atleast that'll be your best bet
