Scream/Whistle noise from a mates scooby
My mate has just bought a WRX RA on a W reg, but it makes a noise i havent heard from any impreza. Its such a loud sound that u can hear it a mile in front on a straight road. Its like a scream/whislte type noise which is very different to anything i have ever witnessed on a scooby.
I thought it maybe some sort of air intake but when i looked, it looked like an itg panel filter so thought maybe the exhaust has something in it.
O and before u ask, ive already asked him and hes reluctant to tell me hence posting here.
Please can someone let me know cos it sounds well good but doesnt quite suit a subaru as the flat 4 rumble is good enough

2000prm upwards - possibly an air leak from the turbo to intercooler or intercooler to throttle body?
It may have found a small leak and using it in a way like a claranet uses a reed to make a sound.
Is is on boost or all the time?
why wont your mate tell you, why bother to help if he wont!

what your talking about is a bung you stick in any universal back box that will make it sound like that but the downside is that it increases back pressure which ruins the engine after prolonged usage. it makes the car sound more like a plane and the flat four rumble disappears.
