I got it. Help me!

Question...I'm getting the CP-e Intake and I was told that just getting that alone will give me a lot of sound as it is, with turbo whistle, the blow off valve and just the general cold air intake suction sound, is this true?

I dont know I feel about the car being too loud.

Yup, it's true. It sounds great, though, not too loud not too quiet. It's perfect, it can sound a little loud (but sounds so good) with the windows down when you get on it. But it's relatively quiet with windows up and radio/road noise. You'll love it!!

Yea, that was the thing im most worried about, is driving around and sounding too ricey, but if its just right, not too outrageous then thats perfect. I was also told that I dont need to change out the BOV until I plan on increasing the boost in the car because the stock unit is fine for whats in the car, is this true? I am definetly getting the intake, but changing the BOV escapes me.

It is not ricey at all. If it was most people on this board wouldn't have one. It just opens up the sounds that a forced induction motor makes. You paid for a turbo so you might as well be able to hear it for a couple hundred bucks.

As for the BOV, I don't think you need one. Your explaination is correct. But there has been one reported case of a completely stock car where his BOV separated as in the thread below.

But I still think this was a faulty BOV to begin with. Just keep an eye/ear/nose out and make sure if anything seems off to open the hood and look at a couple things.

As much anxiety as i've had about owning this car, it doubles when I hear some of the things people talk about, especially some if the issues they encounter. I dont plan on driving like an idiot, this is just a step up from my 6s v6 mtx that I had, so a little nicer sounding car, awd, turbo, figured, it cant hurt. I already spoke to the guy at the dealership about the reflashes etc... that might need to be done and he said that it'll all be done with the paperwork for it all when i pick the car up this afternoon.

I've got the MS CAI and it is loud, not too loud, and not too ricey, but under throttle, you'll be turning heads of anyone walking on the sidewalk :drive:

If you want to hear the turbo, it's the only way to go!
