  1. it's not the woosh, had that on my last impreza with a prodrive exhaust that I'm worried about.

    It a high pitched whistle/chirp that's got me slightly concerned.

    Can you take an in-car vid?

  2. the man that posted above you cal. I believe he got it from the state's.

    FPAN it sounds good got a vid of it on my phone last night but not sure of quality.

    Was just wondering what the whistle/chirp was though at 5k. Wondered if it was the sudden extra rush of exhaust gasses when the VVT comes on song as it only does on hard throttle. You can go through 5krpm and it doesn't do it. It's quite load outside the car aswell.

    Glad you like it :P. Yes exhaust was imported from the states and cost a small fortune.

    Post up the video. Yes that's the beauty of it, not too loud in the car but louder outside.

    At high rpm and full throttle you can hear the exhaust gases coming out, that's characteristic of the Genome, sounds like a jet engine :rolleyes: My WRX did it too.

  3. Hi Westtra!

    The car is looking mean :P

    How do you find the exhaust?

    Does it sound like a jet engine when you floor it at 4-5k rpm with full throttle? This is normal :rolleyes: I can't describe the sound but I loved it! Deep and discreet "V8-ish" sound at low revs and waking up when you nail it! Can you post a sound/video clip up?

    I miss my car now :blush:

  4. I replaced both my rear shocks 7000miles ago and im beginning to hear a faint knock from the rear offside AGAIN. Coilovers this time for sure!!!

    Pushing the car down above the shock absorber it is very stiff but I have a knocking from the front when going over a certain speed bump (in fact it is more like a gap on the road like this ----__----).

    How did you guys (or the dealer) diagnose a faulty shock? When I took the car for the 30k km service I told the dealer to check and he said everything was fine.

    Thanks :D

  5. What are the symptoms of the front or rear shocks failing?

    My front left one knocks on certain kurbs/bumps when going slowly over it. It has been happening 5k km after fitting prodrive springs. The car seems to be hadnling fine nevertheless.

    Cheers :blink:

    P.S. I have been hearing different opinions about the reason for this. Powerstation (where I had them fitted) told me it is common and it is the spring coils touching but Prodrive told me it could be either a failing shock or the spring not seated properly on the cap.
