I need to get rid of that sound tube. It's terribad. Gotta find the DIY for it.

JS + BRZ · 01-27-2014, 09:41 PM

Uh wtf. You can just plug in the sound tube hole? Didn't know that..

Just did it. LOL Hope that really blocks that crap sound.

They can claim the had to drive it to make sure it was sound...but cant argue where all the MPG's went to loll.

Makes me want to get a dashcam and concealing a battery pack or something.

If they leave the engine running for certain things, even for only 10 minutes, that MPG rating WILL plummet. So, your only real indicator of potential flogging is the ODO pic taken.

It makes a huge difference for me, you can still hear the engine but that fake farting sound is gone. Wayy better if you ask me.

That suction sound is gone. I love it.

Yeah same here. The perrin tips are much more expensive, but in the long run, the look of it pays off.

I ordered them a while ago, still not here yet. Its taped up so I didn't get any chips before the 3M is completely finished. Full hood, fenders, bumper, roof, side skirts, and rear bumper trunk opening are all being done.

got my first of many gtspec parts I will be ordering throughout the year in the mail today!

SirBrass · 01-28-2014, 08:02 PM

Today I did the sound tube delete (3/4" pvc test plug for firewall and 1.25" threaded pvc plug for the intake), which was easy.

What was harder than it looked was removing the USDM side markers... yeah, releasing that clip is NOT easy, even when doing exactly as directed.

I was able to score Subaru JDM clear side markers (not helix side markers, but the true blue JDM ones) for $55. Local parts store was having a clearance and said "any reasonable offer." I said "$55 for the side markers sound reasonable?" And they came back with "sure."

Now to order some LED sidemarker bulbs...

Anyway, what's the deal with "legal" colors? Should I just go on and get the amber LED bulbs, or get the white LEDs to match the headlights?
