jesus the bitchiness on this forum can be unreal at times....no need...Loving the bonnet bra mitch, nice touch...ive been looking for one myself. I wouldnt remove the seal personally, the car has quite alot of whoosy sounds as it is because of the cold air intake, im trying to hunt one down as i miss the sound so much!

If you are after louder pisshes etc.. then a turbo smart DV is the way forward

the G looks awesome btw

still think best suggestion by far is relocate DV in the dash!

or make a CD full of DV noises :roflmao:

Seriously though, these engines are designed for recirc. you will NEVER get a woosh like a Scooby or Cossy. But the nearest you will get is TurboSmart or Split-R

As for removing the seal, don't! It prevent water getting in. And along with DV noice, you will get other noice, such as the engine itself ;)

first thought this was talking about the big cover on bottom side of bonnet. then realized it was the strip up front.
I agree with grandpa randomly set that you're best leaving it on.

thanks for the informative answers....i might raise the bonnet a little to aid cooling as it gets seriously seriously hot. Like the guy whos from the scooby background i just enjoy hearing it, the same as the whine from my old charger. I realize its a recirc dump valve and will never sound the same.....i dont need telling this i am quite a competant mechanic! I might look into the turbosmart dual port! As for the idiots at the start of this topic, classic keyboard warriors - every forum has them. Thanks james, i maybe loved the G a bit more than the ibiza....but it was a bit too insane and id done what i wanted to it so i sold up.....cupra should be changing a bit next month. when you getting rid of that signature aswell ? :p

Not keyboard warriors, but as you can imagine after being on here a long time, we get this topic at least once a month and becomes a joke at times
