hmm as to loudness im not sure..if i had to guess I would say they would be about the same

 

no. the bump bump thing was before that.
ibelive after i installed my FMIC+PIPES upper,lower.. same with the air whissle thing ... i hear it when im driving hard on the streets... i thought it was normal tho.. =/

sometimes... im driving hard my car n all the sudden when i come to a stop light my tacometer aims @ 1k but it goes a bit off... like if the thing is about to shut down. =/ ( im guessing this is wat u were talking about before?) about the leak?

 

yepp with the way you are describing your RPMs it sounds like a vac leak..does the tac jump up and down a bit? going in sync with the "bump bump bump" noise? you may have a bit of a boost leak too if you started hearing other noises after installing the IC piping.

 

yes. thats the perfect way to describe it. lol
it goes synchronized with the bump* sound... and this was after i installed my FMIC,UICP,LICP whichi was a while back... so im guessing the Leak is there right?

does the Exhaust system gotta do anything with this? so i check it aswell

 

hmm naah wouldnt be an exhaust issue. check your LICP...that seems to be the biggest PITA and is where all my boost leaks have been

 

yeh im gonna have 2 do it.... ima have to take my bumper off rite? u got another better way? lol

 

anyways, thanks for the help man... in all this big forum ..ur the only person who bother to reply n help me ..!! thanks a lot!!!

im gonna have 2 go now... gotta sleep .. ill post where it was when i checkit .. but its gonna have 2 be tuesday tho because im off 2 da beach for 3 days :P not on my RA ofcourse.. my girl's car lol

 

heheh thats the only way to really get in there and check them thoroughly. I would pull off the bumper and bottom plastic plates and get in there and tighten and check all clamps/couplers associated with the LICP and UICP...itll be a nice day down there tomorrow in Florida right? Itll give ya something to do!

 

yup... its been sunny for a while.

 

no problem man anytime! have fun at the beach, wish I was back in Tampa enjoying the beaches! hahah. let me know if these suggestions fix the problem

 

lol yeh.. tampa is very nice too!! and i will enjoy bro thanks.

and sure will post it up when im done (pretty sure it will help) lol

thanks again.
n later

 

ohh shooot ... since im takin bumper off... im blacking out my damn HID housing! woot! lol

 

Steel will give you better power gains than ceramic, but I'm not sure if there's any difference in the loudness.

 

If no one suggested it yet, chose a different fuse to jump off of. If there is even a momentary loss of power to the BG between the run and start position you will in effect re-zero your base atmospheric reading causing the effect you have described.
