The ASC is, for me, the worst sounding engine noise I've ever heard. Massively put me off the car; doesn't help how difficult it is to not have a stock exhaust in the UK.
Sorry if this is a really stupid question, but I have to ask... If we've ensured that there's wheel clearance, and of course the brake pedal isn't depressed, what are we hearing at 10:15? Did your wheels make that noise with the old brakes?
I just want to say a massive thank you for making this video. I spent days and days trying to find this sound on my car (Mk3 Golf VR6) and was baffled. My symptoms were as follows A rotational sound that changed with speed. Being FWD i heard the sound with my drivers side window open especially when I was up against a barrier of some sort. The noise was exactly as in your video, almost a buzzing, grining sound. Oddly enough when I would push the accelerator the noise would go away and when i would coast the noise would come back. It happened in any gear, engine off or on. Braking made no change to the sound. I had previously tightened my axle nut and brushed past it when the noise continued. Little did i know that I had accidentally reused my original nut when I changed my axle some months before hand. By sheer luck I had a brand new one in my boot and upon installing and tightening it the noise was gone. Thank you again!
Wish we could have this toggle from factory. That way I would disable this horrible fake sound for everything other than track driving. That’s the only place where it’s useful.
test drove one today (might get one soon) and until 4-5k revs i think you don't really notice the fake sound tho if i get one i'd love to turn it off too
Damn. I wanted to like these so much. It seemed super useful. But, mine does not do this lmao. I literally just got it in, opened it up, and was instantly disappointed. It constantly starts, stop, starts, stops. Then just shuts off before getting anywhere close to the target PSI. Tried different batteries (had a 12.0 on it first, tried 8.0’s, 6.0’s, 5.0’s), different vehicles/tires, etc. 10 minutes of sitting there messing with it to GET ONE TIRE from 20 PSI to 35 PSI.
One time I bought two scion frs 2013 and built one to be exactly like a 2022 and other stock. Then had people test drive them. They said 2022 is better. Lol.
Dude, from my heart to yours, THANK YOU! I was going nuts (no pun intended) trying to figure out what this sound was lol, just changed the axle nut and bam, gone, poof, eliminated 🤣🤙🏼!
It's much better after doing this, but I still hear it now and then. I wonder if it's one of the other axle nuts, though the sound still seems to be coming from the rear driver's side. 🤷🏼
Man why couldn't they have done that from the start? You want to peacefully cruise, turn off the extra noise, you want to hear your engine louder for some reason turn it on, everyone's happy.
I did this and my aluminum foil HVAC tape from Romeda fell off after only a couple days... Can anyone recommend some tape that will stay on for at least a year ideally?
I have a question, i torqued it to 160ft/lbs for the time being until my now axel nut comes in. I didnt undo the pin mechanism they have and just tried torquing it. Car still makes the noise so im waiting on the nuts to come in, is it okay to leave it as 160ft/lbs for a week or so? Just curious lol
What's the camber spec? 949 recommended one? Also what's the cold air pressure with these V730? Im struggling with their tire pressure setup atm Thanks for your input.
