im completely catless, and you can smell me if you are driving behind me, or right when i park and get out, i can smell the fuel. oh wells

oh, and i shoot a fireball about every other shift or so

 

Air Box Resonator

What's up everyone I have a 05 wrx and I was wondering if it's ok to run without the resonator for stock air intake. I heard you could gain a little bit more performance without it. If so, is it good or bad for the engine.

 

It's not your car it's you. Take a shower.

 

+2. Definately 1 high flow somewhere won't hurt too much

 

thats what she said

 

yeah, i'm catless and it seems there's not much I can do. Yeah, I'll probably do helix catted dp in the future.

BTW...I can't smell anything in the car...only when I get out and it's running. That's pretty normal I guess

 

does your friend have a white bugeye with a s203 spoiler? That car is nice!


If so, i dont smell anything from that car either.




OP: Have you been around another wrx and compared the differences in output of fumes? Because i can't smell anything while i'm inside. Only on some occasions when i'm coming to a stop, where i can actually take a sniff of the fumes.

 

HAHAHAHA

 

yeah its normal for it to smell when your catless
have you had it tuned???
mine stunk pretty bad when it was catless too. with mine it was coming in the car and my girl hated the smell on my clothes so i switched to a catted DP. didnt loose much HP

 

+235323...run one cat at least. You can smell me burning rich when I come out of the restroom. lol hehe :banana:

 

uhm.. sorry to be blunt about it, but get your own thread. this one is about smelly cars not intakes

 

hmmm...helix catted it is then.

what a waste of a Protune though. <sigh>

 

Leave it off if you feel like it. I have driven with dark tinted windows and no front plate for around 8 years here and only now due to the swarms of black and whites I am seeing everywhere combined with all the BS things people are getting sent to the ref for - it's just not worth it. I have argued against the front plate for so long, and here I am saying I put mine back on. I am not going to run without a cat because it doesn't make that much difference (honestly) and is just advertising to a bored cop in a way I don't want to advertise. If you get caught, it may suck. Then again, you might not get caught. The fact that I can smell catless cars when I am behind them leads me to believe that cops can too... So I will keep the kitty.

 

it's just the stench...I know I run the risk of going to the refs, and I can deal with that. but ugh, I can't have the windows rolled down at a traffic signal some times.
