I took off my mevi and my intake seems alot louder, has anyone else noticed this?

 

i liked the way it sounded with the mevi on but i missed the low-mid range tq.. after i put the usmi on it went back to the way it sounded before loud

 

The USIM definitely has a louder induction noise especially once you wind out the rpms to over 5500rpms because the intake pulses start reverberating.

 

Well I just put on a short ram intake after I put back the USIM on. I had a CAI on when I had the MEVI. All I can say is my intake is freaking loud! Maybe a bit too loud. I'm not sure if it would be this loud with the MEVI. The CAI wasn't loud at all with the MEVI on.

 

USIM is much lounder than the MEVI

 

I always thought that the MEVI had a softer tone than the USIM.

 

Why are you guys taking your MEVI off, does this mean you dont want them anymore? Anyone wanna sell yours?

yea why r u guys removing your mevi's?

 

i took off mine cause i race alot at the track and i miss the low end power.im putting my mevi back on when i go boosted in a few months

 

Do you find yourself running significantly worse ETs with the MEVI as opposed to the stock manifold?

 

i mean if you are selling it them i would gladly take it off your hands for a couple of bills!

 

yeah first run i ran about .5 tenths slow. but my best i could do with was about .2 tenths slower than the usmi

 

whats a USIM?

 

if i would be selling it would be for 600 with everything..but since im not no luck here

 

its the us manifold instead of the mevi

 

Weird. You were running it all the way to redline right? As opposed to the USIM which you probably shift earlier with.

 

Well I on the other hand like the MEVI and as for mid range power I can't tell the difference between the MEVI and the USIM. All I know is for me after I put on my MEVI I was able to run a .34 faster than without the MEVI. So I don't see why they are all taking off their MEVI's but if it's working for them then more power to them.

If you're taking off your MEVI you might try and getting it Extrude Honed. I know it's not a cheap mod but it would be helpful. And perhaps you'll get better results than the guy that had his USIM EH'd.
