i just installed the same forge-filter kit without hardpipe and mine is not so loud. I wonder if the hardpipe really makes that much of a difference...and why do your jcw pop and bang? is that a jcw without OPF-Filter?
The hard pipe makes a huge difference as there was a lot of voids in the original parts for the air to get lost. My Jcw didn’t have a OPF filter as it was a 2015. So best year for the noise and tune they put in them!
Do I have to have the forge intake with the hard pipe or can I go k&n intake with forge hard pipe? I’m confused if I have to buy it as a set..? Or can I have 2 different manufacturers with the forge hard pipe
