Hey guys,
Im sure you have seen my thread on the MREV impression I got when I installed it. If you havent and would like to, see it here: https://g35driver.com/forums/intake-exhaust/79786-mrev-best-thing-ever-must-05-6mt.html.

I just installed my UTR chrome G-tube that arrived yesterday, and my K&N filter that arrived today (along with my strup headers, I had a good day today The headers wont go in for a couple weeks as I am unable to do them myself). The UTR chrome tube/K&N filter was very easy to install. At first it seemed as though they wouldnt fit, but the rubber connectors just bend a little and it works fine now. These are amazing sound mods! Performance from the tube and filter are negligable, I thought I felt some, but its probably jsut the placebo affect. It changed the tone of the intake AND exhaust (combined with the MREV ofcourse). This 3 mod combo is AWESOME. I took some pics of the engine bay, and made a audio clip of me revving the engine so you can hear the induction noise. Here it is:

AUDIO
First few times im revving im just tapping the throttle and it doesnt go above 3.5k. The next few times, when you notice the deep induction noise, im stepping further in on the throttle (giving it more gas) but i let off quickly and it only reaches about 4k. Enjoy!

I have one question though:
After driving or revving when the engine is hot, and i push in the clutch (this is with no A/C), the RPMS dip down like 100 RPM below normal idle without AC then come back up to normal and stay there. Should I reset the ECU, or is the car running a little lean because of all the breathing mods? ...Comments, questions?? Thanks and enjoy the pics/audio

 

good too hear you like your mods........the UTR tube looks great..........video is cool......you can hear the difference when you really rev it up

 

i'm going to pick my car up, you've made me all giddy to get it ^_^

 

haha

 

Nice, Mike . . . You can hear that extra burst of air as it passes through the throttle body. Wait til you install the rest of your mods. It should sound absolutely nuts.

 

I know I cant wait!

 

Time to dyno!

 

I love the little "TSSS" click the car makes when you tap it. Its amazing

 

Ill be getting a dyno done in a few weeks after I get my Strup headers and Crawford HF cats installed.

And yes, the "TSSS" is awesome. I LOVE it. It was about 40 degrees yesterday and I drove with my window down all day and the heat blasting just so I could hear the engine/exhuast more .

 

I wish my car mdae the TSSSSSS noise

It's faster and louder, so the install went properly, but I'm guessing the TSSSSSSS comes from the mrev plenum itself and not the spacer/iso thermal. oh well, you lucky 05 bastards

 

im in love with that sound

 

Ya I cant tell you how many times i roll my windows down at red lights and press the throttle just to hear it, people look at me like im crazy!

Haha, 99atlantic, but you 04 bastards get those nice shiny gold brakes ...if you have a 6MT that is.

 

That was an excellent audio, Mike. I remember the first time I heard the "Tsss" sound immediately after my MREV install while the car was idling for the very first time. Initially, I had thought that I had done something wrong.

 

nice! let's see the dyno numbers before and after you get the Strup headers in.

 

Yea loved the audio clip... too bad i cant get the mrev since im 5AT but o well... i get the TSSS noise from the intake just not as loud as you do
