I like the one you get with the greddy turbo kits for H22s....omg....it has a high pitched metallic noise...I can't explain it, but I'm definitly getting one of those on my turbo prelude (should come out in spring 2007).

IMO, best sounding is the HKS SSQ.

The loudest, Turbo XS RFL type H.

I had the TXS on my 04/05 STi. It made kids cry, people jump, and a guy almost had a heart attack.

BTW, RFL stands for Real ******* Loud.

i just read about it and it says its for 10 to 20 pounds of boost. would it be aight running just 7 or 8? and its not a pos that leaks boost right?

I wouldnt recommend it then. It would leak boost if you don't have enough washers in it.

Go with the HKS.

yeah if you like the metal on metal sound go with the Greddy or HKS. if you want more of a woosh go with the blitz DD&lt;my favorite, and i also have it on my car.

i run the HKS SSQ and it sounds fine.

what size turbo is your friend running. 9lbs on a SC50 sounds nice. 20lbs sounds violent

The first gen Blitz that I had on my turbo single sounded like glass shattering, the one that looks like a damn air horn ya know? That thing would make people stop dead in their tracks hahahaha
