to sleeper or not to sleeper
 

I delivery drive a soon to be hmt del sol. I am seriously debating whether or not to make it look stock under the hood by hiding the charge pipes inside stock intake and using a heatshield to conceal the turbo. The intercooler would be painted black with nicely done grill mesh to break up the pattern. A del sol, imo, looks like it should go fast; so would it be redundant to sleep the under-hood of a bright red car? OH! btw, I am not trying to conceal the sounds, just the appearance.

dont even waste your time trying to be sleeper...how often will people not hear your car at some point before you race. and who cares if they know what you have

sleeper

seem like some extra work, why not be proud of the set up and show it off? any 1 with 1/2 a brain will still know your turbo. if u want it sleeper, leave the exterior and interior stock. my .02

Outside stock. Under the hood -> :o

Well I think there are a lot of people with only half a brain in my town. I was crusing the other night and some dude asked if I was "charged". I was like... you didn't hear my turbo the last 4 blocks or see that HMT sticker on the side of my car? He even said he had a big block in his honda when I asked what he had... lol.

Anyways yeah just make the outside and inside look like a sleeper... waste of time to do the engine bay. That's the cool part to check out.

I want a bov poking out of my oem intake :D If it's a DSM bov, does it still count as "oem looking?" lol

I would just not pop the hood if you don't want to give away what's going on under there. But thats my $.02

Re:to sleeper or not to sleeper
 

whats the point of hiding all that ---- in the engine bay if everyones gonna hear the bov neways so their gonna know its boosted. i think its just a waste of time. just make the exteior look stock
