I was wondering about the rasp and this is the only post that has videos and info about this combo. Its hard to tell but with that minimal rasp its pretty darn nice. Something that minor (from what i can tell from the video) ....rasp wise ... thats fine. It has that tuner sound instead of an 89civic sound. Good job. With that combo i think you added about 16whp'ish ....not bad.

The sound of the intake shouldn't change at all. But I would suspect that the exhaust would be a bit more raspy due to the 4-1 design of the Alphawerks. It wouldn't be a drastic change though.

Don't quote me on this, but I believe that people figured out that in that video, the driver was not applying FULL throttle. I am not 100% positive, but I am pretty sure that I read in another thread that was true. Partial throttle is definitly more "internet video friendly" and it will always make a raspy setup sound better.

WRONG. You do not have to be at full throttle to hit redline, it just takes longer.

(I knew someone was going to say this to! )

Yeah, I think the website is the only place. For a while Nick was giving a $50 price cut for scionlife members, maybe you can convince him to bring that back.
