Hey good to hear that you got it in!! To adjust the spring and the sound you turn the very top ring (silver/chrome). In the instructions it says to turn till it is at the lowest setting and then drive and adjust from there to better tune it. I hope this helps!!

Let me know if you get it working!!

Thanks,
Brian

I have one and as far as I know there are only two rings. One ring has the small boost hose attached to it and move independently of the other ring which control how open the valve is. Look down the trumpet and you will see it open and close as you move it. Adjust the inner ring to the closed setting and keep the outer ring so that the hose can still attach from the right. To move the rings independently, hold one, whilst moving the other! Then after all is connected, try opening the inner ring a bit to allow more atmospheric sound and make sure your car still runs ok and you have a noise you like. It really couldn't be simpler and is thoroughly explained in the instructions.

There are 3 movable parts... the whole top half as a whole (which would adjust sound / atmosphere-to-recirc), the vacuum hose attachment (2nd level which moves independently), and the top part which adjusts the spring and also moves independently).

thanks for the reply guys. but my sound loudness ring just doesn't seem to move at all! i tried using so much strength to turn that 3rd ring but it won't even budge. i'm trying to turn the rung under the ring with the nipple. am i supposed to use a tool to turn that ring? or do i have a defective unit?

sorry to hi-jack this thread lol.

You don't need to turn the 3rd ring to adjust the sound...just the very top ring (chrome silver). The one with the nipple on it for the small hose doesn't need to be turned for this. The unit is not defective cuz I inspect them all when I get them before they go out. It must just be something that you are overlooking...it really shouldn't be this hard to work. Please keep us posted!!

Thanks,
Brian

just an update, i found out that my loudness ring was turned all the way to the right already, which is why i couldn't turn it. it's still kinda tough to move around though but that only means its beefire and higher quality. i tuned the spring cap to my taste. i have it venting 100% to the atmosphere right now and no problems whatsoever. sounds awesome too. it vents at moderate throttle at 3k+ rpms. thanks auwrx for the nice unit.

Hey it is normal to flutter some. Just give it some break in time and keep adjusting and you will get it right!!

I am glad that you like the unit so much!!

Thanks,
Brian

A video clip with the camera about 3-5 feet in front of the car, sitting car height on top of a box in my garage.
