My car had the V-flow intake on it when I bought it. I liked it for the sound.

It's not always about making more power or saving a gram of weight.

I thought you plumbed your intake in a way that would make it quieter...?

No, it's even louder now with the fender intakes.

I see. - that must be nice to have whooshing sounds. Can you hear the turbos more? Or just air rushing?

You don't really hear the turbos much (in the car at least, not sure what a bystander hears), but you definitely hear very loud whooshing/sucking noises when you get on the gas.

IMO the "turbo" script on the rear decklid, started in 1975 with the first 911 Turbo, is an iconic model identification.

I like seeing the "turbo" script on my rear decklid because it reminds me of the history of the model line.

Opinions will obviously vary.

I had a friend custom cut the sticker for me. Pretty simple job by a sticker shop I believe. It's in matte black vinyl.
