Does it quiet down any after running the car for a while? Can you hear it inside your cabin?

This video is with the key in the "on" position and the car not running.

Sorry about the sound quality, best I can do... Idk why it sounds so deep with bass lol. I will give RMCR a call tomorrow. Car is idling fine and accelerates fine also so it doesn't seem to be anything detrimental. Any help is appreciated

That's your scavenge pump it a very good but annoying noise to hear. Mine died the other day and smoke just pours out the exhaust.

Ouch, sorry to hear that. Anything else damaged?

HP Turbine · 09-28-2015, 02:11 AM

not that i'm aware of. Just oil in the exhaust

smithnc · 09-28-2015, 02:14 AM

Well that's good. I wonder what caused the failure?

How hard is the install on one of these coolers? Does the front fascia need to be removed?

smithnc · 09-28-2015, 06:58 PM

Yes, I believe the front fascia has to be removed. I didn't do the install but Michael from RMCR said it was easier than he initially thought.

smithnc · 10-07-2015, 12:20 AM

More pics and a sound clip of exhaust... https://youtu.be/XeQXFgIAzc8

Hopefully I can get to the track soon and get some timeslips.

smithnc · 10-07-2015, 02:23 AM

Also, noticed that my exhaust seems to be hanging pretty low... Its lower than the skid plate and angling down towards the back of the car. That doesn't seem right? It seems like the exhaust pipes should be more tucked underneath the car? Sorry for the poor quality.

JantzenOKC · 10-07-2015, 09:14 AM

It's hard to tell from that picture but it sure doesn't seem right. My exhaust follows the line of the frame and stays pretty tucked.

smithnc · 10-07-2015, 10:51 AM

Ya, yours looks tucked up nicely by the frame. I will bring it to a shop this weekend to have them take a look because something is not right that's for sure. Thanks for the pic.

smithnc · 10-07-2015, 11:04 AM

After further inspection, it appears that the pipes coming out of the turbos are angled down towards the ground forcing the exhaust piping to meet at a very low point. Seems like the turbos should be clocked 45-90 degrees to fix this. I'll post more pics later today.

smithnc · 10-07-2015, 11:21 AM

Ok, I spoke with Michael from RMCR and he said to bring it back to the shop next Wednesday so it'll be fixed then. He said that they really can't clock them anymore, but I find that hard to believe since your pic above shows the turbos clocked appropriately and the pipes are angled out towards the side of the frame rather than down.

smithnc · 10-16-2015, 06:20 PM

Headed to Bandimere Speedway tomorrow morning for a test and tune day. I'll post time slips after.
