DIY: noise pipe delete stealth version

[jizzim]

Giving credit where it is due..vdubnut_mike on Vortex posted about it. I decided to do it today.
It's totally stealth. No more brrrrrrrrrrr sound on acceleration. 8)

1.5" expanding test plug from Home Depot w/ added lock washer

In the pipe and tightened down

Back in..

Done. Totally stealth and no moar wasted boost. ;D

Hmm so you just plug the pipe without removing the whole thing?

Roger that. Pretty slick IMO. The plug only cost me $1.20 at Home Depot.

Damn home depot being an hour away. Sweet find though. Good job giving credit where due.

Is throttle response better? I can't tell. I hate to be that guy that says "Yeah, my car pulls harder now."

you should get a 1 3/8 plug and put it in before the hose and you would have less useless plumbing to pressurize everytime the turbo spools.

This will do for now until I can get a hold of Raven and his plug.. $1.20 is worth it at this point. It's not going to make a huge difference IMO with the tiny bit of added piping. Anything is better than the entire length of the noise pipe right? :wink:

You wouldn't happen to have the SKU # for the plug would you?

This is what is on my receipt from Home Depot..

717510310016 TEST PLUG....$1.20

I found it in the plumbing section on a shelf. This was my store's last one.

I'll pop the hose off tonight and will recheck. The label is still on there lol. Hope the number didn't get butchered. Anyway it's in the plumbing section of the store. There are a few sizes but this one is1.5".

I'm gonna do some more hard driving tonight to see if I can get the plug to pop. If it doesn't we're all good to go. :happyanim:

Yeah the SKU # should be a 6 digit number. Trust me, I use to work at Home Depot. :bellyroll:

Sorry man.. Can't tell. The only thing visible is the UPC and the number I posted. The SKU if it's there is under the washer chewed up.
