INTAKE/EXHAUST stock vs. custom; PLEASE HELP
I recently bought a 2006 MR SE. I dont know much about Evos except that they look awesome and offer insane performance. In fact I had no idea what I'm buying, and I'm not even sure if I want to keep this great car (I'm probably not the perfect guy for this car).
Meaniwhile, I have some questions. My car has some upgrades, which I dont know much about, but I know I have green cone filter with intake pipe, BOV, and full turbo-back 3" exhaust, w/o cat, but with a titanium muffler.
As i posted here before, the exhaust is very very loud, but so is the intake, with the sucking noise coming from the intake filter, and the BOV which is overactive, blowingoff every 2 seconds, non stop.
Most people are telling me not to go back to stock parts because I will feel a significant difference in power loss, but what if I only go back to stock air box and stock BOV, but leave my 3" exhaust without the cat. I shouldnt lose any power, but there will be some difference in noise, right ??
thanks for any advice.

dont get me wrong, I love the sound of the BOV, but not when its doing it every damn second. I cant go past 1500rpm without it... so I want to go back to the stock BOV, which I'm sure only goes "whoosh" at like 5000 rpm.
Of course the bigger problem is the lack of a catalytic, and a full 3" turbo-back pipe... At like 3000rpm andbeyond, I cant even hear the radio playing.... But at least I'm getting like 20-30 extra Hp... or so the guys here on the forum say....

I would definitely put the stock airbox and diverter valve back on. You won't sound like a ricer anymore. You could also get a more quiet exhaust but a turbo back setup is a must have.

It's likely the catback along with the muffler making the most noise. So you would look for a new catback (after the test pipe).

First of all what i suggest what you do is find out what YOU like.....do your homework and find a brand YOU LIKE......read UP ON IT AND YOUR VEHICLE. My evo was purchased used and came with hks components...which i am very happy WITH!
