Ford Focus ST Sound Symposer..Should you delete it?

⏵ Sound Symposer Block-Off & Delete Kit - carmaspeed.com...
Ford Performance vehicles such as the Ford Focus ST, Mustang, Fiesta ST, etc come with what is called a sound symposer that is easily removable with a "sound symposer delete" - when I first got this car I thought why don't I hear much turbo noise/engine noise like other ST's ive ridden in. Then I realized that this car I purchased used already has a symposer delete. So my immediate reaction was that a sound symposer has to be a good thing! But come to find out after putting one back on... I was wrong. It created a really annoying drone in the cab. No thanks!

I haven't fully looked at mine.. 2018 ST here.. Does it use that hose as another intake? It looks like it does from how the video plays. but there is no filter for that? I'm confused.. isn't that part of the intake under pressure from the turbo? That hose cant carry pressure so.. Im lost as to how this thing even works.

Al-la my symposer on my 2013 ST-3 had a torn diaphragm. £130 to replace it (did it myself, the new part is expensive). It's a spare part now though as I have a Cobb symposer delete on the car I use to provide the boost solenoid on the valve cover/head with a true boost source; boost gauge works properly with that and car is slightly more responsive seeing as sensors see more info.

@tonyperi78 3 жыл бұрын

When you took the "valve" out you introduced a boost leak. The pressurized side is open to air. With the "valve" on its just a diaphragm that acts as a drum almost and makes the sound that enters the cabin. You, by removing the resonator, were just pumping boost air into the firewall.

I haven’t gotten to the point of buying one yet on my st but I’ve heard that the reason a lot of people upgrade the intake piping is for in cabin turbo noises/being able to hear the blowoff without an aftermarket BOV. Just a thought since I know you like a lot of noise. Would love to see a water-meth kit install once you start getting closer to full bolt ons.

@straightballer77 4 жыл бұрын

So all the comments about increasing the turbo noise is false. A blow off valve will definitely let you hear the blow off of the pressure a lot louder, but the stock bpv is prone to causing boost leaks also when you start increasing the performance. If you are really serious about wanting turbo noises then I’d suggest for you to preload the wastegate and get a custom tune from jstperformance. And you’ll get a great deal of a performance benefit from preloading it (holding peak boost a little longer, not having boost drop off as quick, and you can get 25-26psi of boost which you’ll be able to hear 😂) I can hear my turbo spinning even at idle like this.
