Buy a different one? 
I hear there's a company out there that makes great fake ones if that's what you're into.
Just messin' man, congrats on your purchase. Welcome to the board.

My stock one is pretty loud. In fact people that have no clue about turbos or car matters always ask, "What's that really loud PPSSSSHHHH noise that the car makes when you shift?"

Yeah, thats what im talking about. That read looks confusing, and a pain in the ***. If your going to do this, you might as well do the TID mod. I did both of mine at the same time, and spent about 35 dollars in parts. I didnt use them all though, and returned some and it ended up about 25. I borrowed a digital camera from my gf, and I can take some pics and do a write up if youre interested. I hope you have a Lowes by your house, cause I couldnt find some of the crap at Home Depot. 1 response is enough for me to do a write up, heck maybe it'll get in the archive.

On a more mentionable note, I guess you already had a FCD before you did the TID? Any kind of AFC? Just curious, finally have enough money to start spending

how could I make my Blow off valve sound loder w/o bying a new aftermarket one?????
Since I've had the car for about two weeks now, i don't know how to get a good launch someone please explain. I am running 245/50 16' in the back and 225/50 16 in front with good grip if that would make any difference.

Dan (and anyone else interested), first you will need to have access to a drill and some bits.
when the mufflers are not hot (car parked for a few hours) go outside, lay on the ground with drill in hand.. oh yeah
safety first, can't forget goggles for protection 
here is the hard part -------------> choosing the drill bit size just right (it takes some practice but after drilling many muffs you'll get the hang of it, so start small, you can always make the hole bigger) and picking a position to drill the hole(s).... clean up metal shavings and you are done, voila.
go for a ride and enjoy
