Vortex Generators

Hey, does the Vortex Generators make a weird wind noise when you drive fast? I'm getting this weird winding-wind-like-noise everytime I'm going 20mph +

for those evo's with >40k miles on them, how are they running still? Any panels/doors become loose over the course of time?

Nope they dont make any noise. Especially at 20 mph they dont even work until higher speeds anyway. I would think they make less noise than a car without one being that it directs the air so it flows better/smoother, therefore it would have a more efficient flow line.

It doesn't sound like the turbos but i hear this excessive wind noise from the rear that sounds odd... doesn't sound like wind leakage... i suppose i should have it checked out at my local HB mitsu dealer.

kinda of a stupid thought, but awhile back my friends passenger side rear window wouldnt close all the way. it took him like 2 weeks to figure out that the window was crooked. i doubt it but i guess its worth it to check..lol..
