Got a video or sound clip?

Yes, on my phone, I will need to upload it to youtube.

It serves only two purposes.. Sound deadening and.. When it rains hard where does the water go??

Well, i had no issues for 2 years w/o my cowl. Been through tons of car washes, pouring rain, etc....

Agreed; no issues with my whatsoever. If you put the cabin filters back on, it still filters smell, fog, etc. Makes your DV sound like its in the dash

Maybe the reason why I can hear the flutterdumps? Anyone else? I know compression surge is bad, and I'd like to get input from COBB on if this is dampering my turbo in the long run? If it is, then what can one do since I'm only running a BMS intake, ER CP and a Stage 1 aggr COBB AP map on 93 octane...

Do I see a new upcoming trend?

Can anyone else confirm the louder sound from the turbo by doing this ?

Enjoy your noise. We'll enjoy the performance.
