ok i know many have posted stuff on the popcharger..i just installed it and totally love it...sounds great and great performance gains..just a quick question...Do u guys hear what sounds like squeeky brakes when speeding up? Not very loud squeeks but def. noticeable. Just wondering cuz i found nobody else with this in search..Thanks guys.

 

You mean when you go WOT and over 4500 RPM's?

 

umm no even before then...but do u hear it over 4500? I dont mean just the nice throaty sound that it gives off but like a higher pitched squeek..

 

Oh and maybe it's different in a 5AT..i'm not sure though...anyone else?

 

I inquired about this same topic a few weeks back as I am new to the Z community and was wondering why I heard a high pitched squeal under partial throttle. It is perfectly normal.

 

Ok rad...i was just making sure that it was a normal thing, and that i didn't jack something up haha...Dude this makes my engine sound ridiculously beefy now. This is my first mod and i certainly was reserving judgement on it 'til i installed it and needless to say i couldn't be any happier w/ it...But yeah. thx for putting my mind at ease...

 

just wait until you put an exhaust system on their with some high flow cats . It only gets better.

 

haha hell yeah dude i'm stoked...the mod bug bit me...i can't wait to do more to my baby. trying to figure out which exhaust i should go w/ still.

 

I went with the JWT pop charger and the Stillen exhaust system.. Sounds amazing both low and high in the power band. No drone at all, but loud enough to turn heads 24/7.

 

Yeah, the sound is normal. I'm going to test pipes soon and I can't wait, .

 

what exactly do test pipes do?

 

The high pitched squeel you hear is the air getting sucked into the intake.

Test pipes are just straight exhaust pipes with no cat's in them to restrict flow. Illegal in most states, some can get away with it though.


I just installed my popcharger on Thursday...it does sound much better. I'm new to Z's but come from the DSM world with an AWD Turbo Eclipse.

 

ok cool...Thanks very much..Lol i can't wait to drive tomorrow hahaha.

 

thats a normal sound, and i like it, i like it alot...............
