Air intake Silencer Trouble's


Recommended Posts

Hi there

Not long ago the plastic inner guard got ripped off my car(WRX STi Version 5) and exposed my intake silencer in the guard, I then decided that it would be a good wee DIY to remove it.

I researched into it a bit and didnt find much info on it regarding a GC8 but still decided to have a crack at it.

It was similar too the tutorials i seen and found for the GD WRX, the bolt locations were pretty much in the same place and the "snorkus" was freed but I couldnt pull it down, even with a friend pushing it from the top it kept getting caught on some sort of bumper support. I can pull it down so far but the part that joins to the air box and air ram gets caught on that support,

The only viable option now is too remove the bumper and guard too successfully take it out, or just leave it in because its not worth the fuss.

Thought's or advice anybody?

Cheers

Taking off your front bumper only takes a few minutes. I took my intake resonator out without having to remove the guard, but it did take some encouraging (GDB sedan). Can't say how 'worth the fuss' is but I found it was a great way to fill in an evening in the garage.

Best of luck.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
