Maybe my expectations are unrealistic and/or I have defective ears. It sounds great from the outside and inside with the windows down, but it’s kinda underwhelming with windows up. I was watching the Harry’s Garage manual CSL vid recently, and it seemed like that car sounded a bit different than my car. My intake is the only one I’ve experienced in person so far, so I could totally be wrong. I mean, the dB reader a few yards from the dyno read 116 dB..def loud. I don’t think it makes much of a difference, but I have the Karb/ITG foam filter.

Probably something you'd need someone like NZ_M3 to confirm. Since he owns a CSL and has owned a car with a karb intake, pretty sure at the same time. I would hazard to guess they are pretty similar and videos just don't quite show that.

I suppose you do get used to it after a while and it doesn't seem as loud anymore.Last edited by zzyzx85; 05-26-2022, 02:32 PM.

If anything, most of the CSL videos don't do a great job translating how loud it is. Karb, CSL, Turner, they all (basically) sound the same.

Somewhat surprised to hear negative remarks about the RE mufflers as from what I understood that muffler had pretty good airflow due to the flow through design.
The engine must simply want a bigger diameter pipe all the way down the line with these types of modifications..

This is a folly.
