I hate to create a whole new thread just for one very specifically-focused question, but I don't want to hijack anyone else's thread on this, so here goes:

One reason I have been hesitant installing my PRL CAI, other than fear of doing it myself and not finding a body shop by me that will do it heh, is that while I love the build-up hiss sound, unlike others I have not been a fan of the whoosh sound when you let off of the gas pedal.

However, in this video I'm hearing exactly what I'd love to hear when you let off, which is different from what I normally hear in others' videos. This is more of an "anti-hiss" I guess?





What is it that he's running underneath that is making this one sound different than others? Is it another turbo completely that's doing it?

Thanks.

Yup, it looks like it didn't take him to get one either (the video was somebody else's car).





This sounds absolutely legit. I really don't like the sound of the PRL Cobra CAI when letting off the gas, in comparison.
