I can't hear my Evo 3!

[Daem0n]

I installed my Evo 3 and turbo back exhaust with cat last week, and yesterday I tested boosting it for a bit. I was on the highway in 4th gear doing 75, so I was at a good 4000 rpm already. I glanced at the boost gauge and saw that I was boosting, but I can't hear the turbo at all. Is it supposed to be quieter than the t-25?

I helped a friend install a B16g a while back, and that had a vacuum-cleaner sound to it, so that's what I was expecting to hear when I nailed it, but nothing. Heh.

Thanks in advance.

Aren, I installed the EVO3 b16 last winter in my 91 gsx last year and it made a wonderful spooling sound that was very audible inside the vehicle while driving. And I believe it should be louder than the 2g turbo. Unfortunatly I have a terrible exhaust leak now and can't here it anymore. Is your new exhaust completely sealed? Also you can remove a silencer from your MAF (mass airflow meter) which can unleash some sound if you haven't done so already. Joe

Mine pretty loud. Mine might be a little louder due to my j pipe I made is a little bigger than the ones you can order. Anyway you should still hear it.

I don't remember what mine sounds like anymore. :-(

Did you take into consideration that you just installed an exhuast system and that drowns out the sound of the turbo. With a 3" turbo back, no cat or muffler, I couldnt even hear my evo3.
