should i be worried
In the last day ive noticed that my 02 sti sounds like it has a vta dump valve. Its not overly noisy but it never sounded like that before.
The only recent changes ive made are the addition of a prodrive backbox and green panel filter.
Anyone any ideas or is this normal.

Panel will increase it slightly, check the airbox lid is seated/sealed properly and the same for the filter.

I wouldn;t worry mate....
If performance isn't affected then the chances are it's just the panel filter. Just replaced the stock STi filter in mine with a Green one and the sound now generated is very noticeable indeed!

fitting a panel filter will increase the noise of your recurculating dumpvave quite a bit its just 1 of those things. put the normal filter back in and see if it goes back to normal. i bet it does. i prefer the noise with the uprated filter in. it will be even louder with an induction kit in.
