is your turkey still loud

[bsgts]

the turkey is not as loud as when i first put it in, is it supposed to get quieter?

[fkmp5]

maybe you're just getting used to it?

[Emode]

you actually put a turkey in your engine?



my turkey was actually hiding inside when i bought the car, and it wont leave..




edit: sorry for being so unproductive, but your gonna need to give more info. Do you have a CAI, if you do youll hear it more than the stock airbox. Also its louder when there is more pressure, or if you shift to neutral. Its normal though.

If you put a turkey in your engine, it's probably dead.

[whitemp5seattle]

no it's great. Leave it in - it frees up your oven for casseroles and pies on Thanksgiving...

I dont know about that - amazingly they can take a shotgun shell and survive- just dont let it get wound up on the belts and you should be ok -





(ps - the injen is great for scaring pedestrians!!)

Well being the only serious one in answering your question, I think my turkey has gotten quieter since I put it in, but I think I'm just used to hearing it so often. I put mine in in the winter so I never really heard it with the windows down. The first time I drove with the windows down....DAMN it was LOUD as hell! I still love it when someone gets in my car for the first time though, they're like "What the fuck was that?"

I don't know how you guys drive ,but i am never in N unless i am stopped or near stopped.How many of you guys use engine braking like you are supposed to?This is the proper way to drive a manual car.It seems to me that a lot of you guys don't know how to to this properly with all the talk of stalling on BOV's and such from shifting to N at high RPM's.I just don't see why you would be doing this.
Sorry

I just traded in my msp for a new msp( dont ask), did all the aftermarket swap yesterday. I can say that with the new car, and my CAI, the turkey is MUCH louder than it was with my old car with 13000 miles.

I have to ask....WHY?
Why another trouble ridden car when you already had one?

mine is a little quieter since I put it in the fender, it was louder behind the headlight

dude i am never in neutral unless stopped with clutch in. I was just telling him a fact. Personally i downshift and rev match all the time. Nowhere in that post did i ever say "this is my favorite thing ever, rev to 800000 and drop to N."

stop making inferences

[Rich24km]

can't we all just get along


Sorry i had to say that......(poke)

if you didn't somehow manage to come out even(which i highly doubt you did) you wasted your money.

Sorry,this wasn't directed toward you specifically.It was more of a generalization on a lot of posts on this board.Didn't mean to make it look like i was talking specifically bout you.I wasn't.just mostly refers to the guys who talk bout dropping to neutral from like 800000 RPM's .

Dude, thats a FANTASTIC way to kill your throwout bearings! Engine braking will also kill your clutch if you don't know how to do it properly (rev matching, etc). If you are at a light, you should definitely put it in N and let the clutch out.

As for the turkeying.... yeah its pretty loud still, but I only got 2.5K miles....

[MSPinVA]

800,000 RPM...... I wonder what numbers our car would theoretically make at 800,000 RPM.......

sorry that was a typo it should have said "stopped or with the clutch in", but you get my point

[MSPinVA]

NP, it did seem a little odd to me too, and what's worse is that I know people like that too.

[KyRaceFan]

Whats a turkey?
The only thing loud on my car is my HKS BOV, and my speakers.

um... id rather wear out my brakes as opposed to my clutch, but hey do whatever u want. theres no point in downshifting unless your looking for every last bit of braking performance

[ForceFed]

um... id rather wear out my brakes as opposed to my clutch, but hey do whatever u want. theres no point in downshifting unless your looking for every last bit of braking performanceRead your owners manual.It is reccomended by ALL manufacturers to this.It will not wear out your clutch any faster than normal driving unless you are slow dis-engaging it.I can downshift in the blink of an eye.How long is your foot on that clutch?

[unwrittenLaw]

why do people talk about rev matching, like our cars dont have synchros or something...whatever floats your boat i guess.
