hadyn Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 I've got the purple insert in my HKS SSQV. After seeing this video: http://youtube.com/watch?v=2zxpnJ-2jV4 Is it OK to run an SSQV without any fins? The noise sounds louder without any fin in. I don't know if this is due to the new design SSQV though.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Can't see any reason why not. Should work just fine. Think i might give that a go, although i just bought a purple 1 lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hadyn Posted July 1, 2008 Author Share Posted July 1, 2008 Well the purple fin does succeed in getting rid of the camp silly noise the stock silver fine makes However on evidence of the above vid, taking the fin out seems to make the bov louder....

miko_supra Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 kind of takes away the nice high pitched sound that you get with the hks ssqv. sounds like a standard woosh that you get with a stock bov recirc pipe removed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supradoopa Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 The sound on the first clip is much louder, engine note wise than the second clip. You can hear the tone drop off on the second and third (camera work, not performance) so I would say it's not a fair representation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hadyn Posted July 1, 2008 Author Share Posted July 1, 2008 I think I read somewhere that if you were to take the fin off a SSQV it would actually make it quieter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pabs Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 I'm a little confused - how does the standard silver fin come off?? I took the front off my ssqv last week and it looks like the silver fin bit is part of the lid section? EDIT: Anyone tried the gold fin? Looks just like the silver one to me (in shape, obviously not colour lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uk-rich Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 EDIT: Anyone tried the gold fin? Looks just like the silver one to me (in shape, obviously not colour lol) exactly the same, colour change for bling/bullshit/whatever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pabs Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 thanks mate - just found that info on a search too My silver one is not really silver anymore - bits flaking off it like dandruff.... thought I might change it for a new fin, and thought gold might be a bit different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
