Why?

so i can get a dossing sound..

trust me bud, women dont like it. i know you're doing it for the ladiez and think they get nipple fats when they hear it, but really they think you have a small dingaling.

but anyways back to the topic, the 2 pipes connected to the intake snorkel is your blow off valve return line and a crankcase breather (or blowby).

i wouldnt go blocking off the breather but if you're not going to run a bov then you can block off the bov return line.

OR.

save yourself the headaches and potential turbo/engine damage and get a stainless steel intake pipe. you'll have mad flUttErZzZzz.

and no i am not doing it for the ladies i have a misses alredylol i just want the big dose sound because i simply just like it

yea i was going to do that why not do it?

1. it's not designed to run in the cooler piping

2. wierd readings

2. the reading pin inside the air flow meter is a delicate object which you wouldn't want to damage at high boost levels.

i am only gonna run 13-14 psi only..hmm might not do this now arhhh

mate this site is full of critics. if u want dose, than all the best with it. Whether they think its a wank factor or not, when a car doses everyones heads turn. and so what if they have no performance benefit, neither do bodykits or bigger wheels, yet most cars on this forum have one or the other, if not both :)

Quicky has it on the head, damage wise shouldnt cause a problem on low boost but ive seen the vl guys running 20psi on there rb30s with no issues.. It does sound "off tap"

Omar I looked everywhere for that Pink Unicorn... wtf is it?!

Technical info just in, sick dose sound does not come just from metal pipe.. tested and offically makes induction sound louder but not dose.. tightening the bov will tho.

how do i tighten my stock bov? can you do that to a stock one?

you can tighten your stock bov by putting it under a vice grip and "crushing" the top of the bov a couple of millimeter. i would only advise this if you're doing it for bov leaking purposes. using a blanking plate is the same as tightening a bov enough for no air to pass through.

stainless intake pipe will increase the sound of your "dose" because of the resonating sound traveling through. the standard rubber snorkel deadens it.

have a read of THIS. he's apparently the master of "dosing". your new best friend.

hope that helps!

    • Be more active mate.. , not taking the piss ❤️, your long term health will love you for it I would think something like a kettle bell or 2 laying around in areas you go past during the day would be awesome for ADHD.... "Oh look, a kettlebell", and exercise helps your brain health as well My mates son was a bit of a problem child, diagnosed wirh ADHD, and some other things that had his brain occasionally doing loops, until we got him into a training program, the difference after he started training was amazing, he had more focus, and his fitness levels exploded, it is like he is a totally different kid to be around Brain chemistry something something Stay fit stay strong mate
    • I had never actually looked into it, but aren't onboard compressors a thing in trucks?
    • Read the ECU for fault codes or have someone else do it. A faulty coolant temperature sender is usually listed in ECUs. If the sensor itself is not busted it can also be a bad ground connection. Or in a really unlucky case, damaged wiring.
    • Can't be a Futjitsubo as those are made with a flex piece and Reimax is smaller in pipe diameter. If anything it is closest to a Mines pipe, but evidently it is not an actual Mines pipe.   Classic word humor
    • Alright I will try to not forget.   As GTSboy replied to you already, problem is mainly the mismatch between the actual exhaust part and the denomination in the papers. That basically just looks like tampering to a cop, if they were to check your car and notice. If it had been done right they would have clarified it to be a custom pipe and just given it a certain part number that you have to engrave or weld onto the pipe. I will definitely inquire on what to do. Changing the pipe wouldn't be my favorite solution as it costs a bunch of money and the cat was fitted with the front pipe and exhaust under the car, and if the front pipe flange does not sit in the OEM location the cat will need to be refit for any other pipe to work. It also usually doesn't need a brand name or something like that, but more something like a part number. Usually for exhaust parts, on silencers and cat units specifically, there is a badge that reads the certificate number that belongs to these exhaust parts under EU regulation. You get these numbers after you put a part or group of parts through the tedious testing according to EU vehicle legislation and they pass. You can find these "part numbers" on various parts throughout a EU vehicle. On windows, headlights, engine parts, seat belts and so on. All these parts have gone through standardized testing and acquired a so called ECE or EG Certificate that makes them legal to use by themselves in all countries that adhere to these standards. You can also not alter these parts in any way, if you do they become illegal. An example for stampings on an exterior lighting part, the people who need to know can find the documentation for this unit in a database. I do not know what all the standards and so on mean.
