Two-Two Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 After a brilliant 12 months ownership of a stock J spec GZ I'm looking to take the first steps towards some mods. The main quibble I have with the car is the lack of engine noise. Apart from the whine of the turbos I get none of the fantastic soundtrack I used to get when the variable valve timing cut in on my Prelude 2.2. The obvious answer is a fancy exhaust but I was wondering....does an induction kit produce a better noise or is it purely for more BHP? PS. I'm looking to turn a few heads rather than wake the dead or attract the attention of plod. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 Exhaust is your best option to make the car sound like a beast. Dont waste your money on induction unless you want to dress up the engine bay a little Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 Originally posted by Two-Two does an induction kit produce a better noise It makes it quite a lot louder, whether that is better is a matter of opinion. or is it purely for more BHP? The stock airbox and filter is not very restrictive so you won't see much (or any) power gain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merckx Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 Get a Nur Spec R, great sound. You can always put the removeable baffle back in if it need's to be quieter. I drive everywhere with the window down:) Then get it decatted , definately money well spent. If you remove both cats you'll also need a fuel cut defender and restrictor ring for the exhaust. Also get a boost gauge aswell to keep a check on how high the boost goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprash Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 As said already, axhaust, restrictor ring........ And if you want more engine, and whistle noises, it has to be an induction, although I would advise to try and give some sort of boxing for it, a happy compromise I feel...... After that, she will feel like a new car........but something tells me it wont end there.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
