OK...let me reiterate then. You're asking a gray market (as in absolutely no association with any OEM manufacturer and therefore has no influence, and companies like STi do not authorize them to actually distribute their parts internationally) distributor (as in Japanparts is literally a team of families who go out and buy parts directly from the manufacturers, ship them to their homes, where they repackage and then ship them to us) to "create" a part?

I'll have to see if I can get in to that.

I do have to say, the tS badge is not going to be obtainable even if we had a part number.

So today my Flexible Tower Bar and the Ts Sound Creator
arrived

Ts Sound Creator looks from the outside same as the Stock one .

But i found the following differences :

Inside the Stock Sound Creator there is Dark-Grey Soft-Foam,
; i blow air with my mouth in it and all the Air came through
"very easy" and Very Fast !

Inside the Ts Sound Creator , there is Yellow Foam and its much
more dense.
when i also blew Air with my mouth in it, its even much harder to get the Air through it !

But now, after installation, i try to explain my drivers experience with
the New Ts Sound Creator

I noticed from the beginning of driving that there is a difference between Stock and Ts Creator.

And i am really happy with the Ts one !

So, the OEM was definitely with more Bass Level and even " louder "
in all RPMīs.
I liked the Stock Sound but sometimes it was to much
Bass Drone for my Ears.

The Ts Sound Creator is more Gently in all the Way.

It is a subtler Sound, Quieter than the Stock ( even in lower RPMīs )
but also with a " Roaaaarrrr " Note in Higher RPMīs.

But everytime....... with an Understatement Touch.....

I would say its very well defined Sound now. Very Clear.

I hope i described it well for all of You.

Love STI !!!!!

Is this tS sound creator just a new version of the TRD sound tubes?

From the sounds of it, your saying it stops more sound than stock, but isn't a complete block like the Blue TRD tube.

The original TRD catalog showed a yellow variant, but actual release was a green one.

Is the STI tube just the missing yellow one?
