To remove the silencer ring

Remove the hose that goes to the turbo, when thats out, look for the ring similar to the one above, and then jus take a flat screwdriver to the little steel snapping ring that holds it in place. Remove it little by little till it comes out, then WALA! pull out your ring and enjoy some newfound turbo whistle.

PS to get even more air, remove the little plastic sleeve that connects the airbox to the passenger vent... Then shell really sound sweet!...

Best of luck

Tx

i was one of those people that intially had trouble removing the snap ring cause i was being extra gentle....take a tiny but strong flat head and a hammer and i hammered the flat head under the snap ring and then just popped it out...the end

then ofcourse the actual silencer ring just falls out
