Halltech Stinger and sound
Hi all:
I just ordered the Halltech Stinger, and was wondering if anyone here has noticed any difference in sound from it. Can you tell that the car has an intake without physically looking under the hood - via sound?

I've only had mine on for 3 days and at first did not notice any difference. However, now (maybe because the computer has "learned") when I go WOT there is a big difference at high rpm's. Much deeper than before. Don't know if it helped much in performance but I am happy with it.

1) Spray thoroughly with Simple Green.
2) Hose (low pressure) from the inside-out.
3) Shake vigorously to get most of the water out.
4) Allow to dry for at least a day, maybe two.
5) Oil lightly.

I can't relate to the Halltech Stinger, but with my Halltech Tric, when you apply the gas, you can hear a high pitch whistle.

Hey Dave,
how do you oil lightly? Is there some special spray oil or what. BTW, Dave and I have the cool air mod, which I think is half the equasion. Look at the Halltech site for Daves instructions. I have installed the stinger, GHL cat back and had the computer programed, and those 3 things make a major seat of the pants difference. Before those mods the car would hardly break the tires loose at WOT from a stop. I now have trouble going in a straight line, as the car smokes the tires all the way through 1st and into second, when I usually lift while in 2nd gear because it starts to go sideways.I'm talking about an A4 here.
