Take some more pictures. You may have even more mods!

I want to see if I have aftermarket equal length headers if not I want to add them

 

[Alin]

You can tell by the noise the car makes. Does your car sound like a Honda or does it have the boxer rumble? (Kind if sounds like a motorcycle)

 

[sti newb]

It has a little rumble

 

[Alin]

Probably stock headers then if it's little.

 

[sti newb]

Well I mean I?ve never been in a subi with all these aftermarket parts so I don?t k ow what it sounds like lol

 

[Alin]

When you take more pictures, take a video of idle as well.

 

[sti newb]

looks like I have that turbo heat shield and stock headers

 

[sti newb]

I need to get that heat shield tho for that sri or just get a whole new cai with a heat shield I touched the intake today after driving it home from work and it was hot as fuck

So, stock headers and an SPT turbo heatshield. I recommend you stick with the current intake and just find the heatshield for it. :tup:

What's the sticker on the TMIC? Mobile One...?

 

[sti newb]

Ya what does that mean?

 

[sti newb]

I found some used headers for cheap they?re CNT headers I?m thinking about pulling the trigger

 

[Alin]

Leave the car alone and drive/enjoy it! :lol:

I'm assuming it's the type of oil used in the car by the previous owner. What does the full label state?

 

[sti newb]

What do you mean fuel label? I just put t6 oil in it the other day

 

[Alin]

What do you mean fuel label? I just put t6 oil in it the other day

What does the full label state? Take another picture of the entire label.

 

[sti newb]

Oh it says mobile one synthetic

I think my car has a slight boost leak, today on my way home from work it made a weird noise a few times and I looked up the sound of boost leak and that?s what it sounds like. Like a weird fluttering noise at the end of the gear in slightly higher rpm?s. It only made the noise a few times when I was in sixth getting into it on the freeway and in fourth getting into it on a street. Other than that my car still feels like it has good power what els could it be and should I take it to a tuner/mechanic to check it for me?

 

[Alin]

NEVER accelerate hard or go WOT in 6th gear!

How much are you boosting when you accelerate? Do you have a boost gauge or do you look at the Accessport?

 

[sti newb]

I took it to a performance shop and they said everything was good to go.. the Intercooler was a little clogged he said but they cleaned it for me.. I don?t have a boost gauge but he said I?m pushing 17 right now with the tune I have right now. I don?t floor it I haven?t even maxed her out the fastest I got her was just under 120 then I let off but it did get there quick from 80

 

[Alin]

How was the TMIC clogged? With what? And at only 39,000 miles?!
