I don't get why half of you are complaining, it sounds mean in person. Just because it doesn't sing like a bird, doesn't mean it's crap. Wow, what a bunch of haters...
Hey Zephyr, thanx for backing me up. BTW next time I have to give you a ride...

Nice video, thanks for posting the link Xelvic!
Yea DaveGS4, its a HKS Super Sequential BOV...

I'm a pretty down to earth guy, if you ask me nicely and if we have time we'll go for a ride. But if you are those type that like to talk sh@t than fat chance. Treat others like how you like to be treated and that goes for online as well.

ddquach,

Please continue to post here and keep everyone updated on your car. I especially am very interested in the good and the bad. Much respect is deserved and given to you for your willingness to step out of the crowd and do something big with the car. I understand the frustration when you post on a forum and get flamed.. It is unfortunate that so many people voice such a negative opinion with nothing to back it up.

95% of everyone who posted comments about how bad it sounded could have simply posted a similar comment ASKING maybe why it sounded strange. There was no need for so many negative comments in this thread.

Guys and gals, we drive one heck of a nice car.. The least we can do is be mature and respect one another. If a member wants to LIFT his/her IS then more power to them; it may not be your style or preference, but there is no need to say things that would prevent them from wanting to come back and post on the board.

All in all, these boards are here to help people in one way or another. Whether it be learning or teaching. I for one want to be able to do both.

I hope everyone continues to post things on these forums about their cars that potentionally may help someone with a question some day.

Congrats again on a great car and some great mods. I know many of us look forward to seeing more about it including dyno #s and strip times if you ever take it down. Good luck and God Bless.
