FIESTA ST SYMPOSER DELETE! | BOOMBA RACING

[@bongodave13]

The hose that goes to the cabin can be removed entirely. It's hard to reach, but all you have to do is squeeze the plastic ring on the outside and pull it. It's like the plastic squeeze ring that connects the emission line that connects to the engine and goes to the intake. You can see what it looks like @ 2:47 on THIS video. > kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZTVaX9rrpmDnrs

Used this video to help take my Symposer out today, Thanks alot Adam 👍🏻

[@AdamRainey]

Mark Rooney No probs Mark, thanks for watching! 😁

[@BoombaRacing]

Thanks for the video review!

[@alexbarquin9]

Slowly but surely your FiST is becoming a beast ;) Can't wait to see what's next.

[@AdamRainey]

Thank Alex, I agree! One step at a time :)

[@Mathis092]

I removed mine as it cracked and lost a lot of boost. Since removing it the car is faster and too quiet. Time for an exhaust now

[@kevinl6231]

Hello from California ❗️😃 The location of the clamps on my hose were so far back that I gave up on it. However I found out there is something called a "hose clamp removal tool." It is on a cable so you can attach it to the clamp and squeeze it from the handle attached to the cable. It's on Amazon and you can get a better idea of what it looks like. There is also a YT video on it. Good info for the future. Edit: thehose clamp was too large to fit into the engine bay so I returned it. Gave up for awhile and then took it to the dealer. I think I feel some gains but most importantly notice the noise reduction.

[@adamkeene6371]

I think it's time you painted that engine cover gloss black. I did mine the other day and it looks sweet. Great video mate

[@AdamRainey]

It could happen :)

[@diegudr]

Oh thanks. After I read my post I was thinking that I was setting myself up for a snarky answer. Thanks for not making me feel dumb. Anyway so the boost pressure also comes out of the other side of the symposer as well and not just the sound?

[@AdamRainey]

Technically, yes but it doesn't flow freely. Think of the symposer as blocking the boosted air until it builds to a certain point at which point it lets a bit through a flappy thing which creates a bit of noise. It is small enough to not be regarded as a 'boost leak' but it is a waste of a little bit of boost pressure

[@matthewblunderbuss4545]

Thanks just got the Cobb Catback and don't see a reason to keep the symposer in.

[@AdamRainey]

I think any aftermarket exhaust makes the symposer need to come out. Cheers :)

[@diegudr]

Oh I get it now (albeit slowly). That explains why the sound is so sudden at around 3000 rpm. That is the one thing I don't like about it, the way you have nothing and then it is loud all of a sudden. I guess after the warranty I will look to install a catback system that is loud but not too loud; yet a steady, nice sound.

[@AdamRainey]

I defo reccomend this plus a good catback, it is what I had and loved it!

[@cristanhince5402]

Great videos keep them coming 👍

[@AdamRainey]

Cristan Hince cheers Christian 😀

[@mustbehiggy]

My real question about the symposer delete is, the hose that goes in to your cabin, when people are just pushing it aside and leaving it open. Are you not giving small rodents a real easy way in to the cabin? I've saw a few Rat nests in engine bays, not mine so far lol, but it's possible..

[@AdamRainey]

The hose is quite a small diameter so the rodent would need to be very very small so I would say, outside of some exceptional circumstance, it should be fine. That being said I am golden because of the extra bung that I got in my Boomba kit :D

[@danw8956]

Hi do you know the size of that extra bung?

[@AdamRainey]

Not quite sure but if you get something that will fit roughly, it will be ok as it is not under pressure

[@danw8956]

My same thinking, just for aesthetic purposes to be honest :)

[@rhyscook9256]

At 2:04 that pipe under the symposer what is this called because I crashed my st sadly and not sure what it’s called need a replacement

[@AdamRainey]

It is one of the boost pipes i think you are talking about. On the aftermarket you may have to buy a whole set of boost pipes, not sure if it will be easy to find just that one...

[@jake15470]

Any tips on smoothing out the harsh ride of the standard suspension? Cheers. Great vids by the way 👌

[@AdamRainey]

Jake Taylor hi Jake, the only things you can do are change out the springs or fully change the whole setup (springs and shocks). Cheers!

[@jake15470]

Cheers man, yeah just not sure on which ones to go for heard alot of good reviews on mountune coilovers... just a case of trying diffrent setups i guess! Thanks.

[@AdamRainey]

Jake Taylor yea the mountune stuff if good quality for sure, I definitely want to get their springs at least but the clubsport suspension kit they do is meant to excellent

[@craig792]

Is there any reason you didn’t go for a Mountune symposer? Figured from all your other Mountune mods that would have been the one you went for. Great vids keep em up!

[@AdamRainey]

Craig Lloyd I would have, I just had a number of other boomba racing red aluminium parts under the hood so I decided to match them instead as they stand out a bit more than the black mountune kit 😀

[@gooner70_ns]

Nice vid as always mate. I must be one of the few that like the symposer. I have the Mountune 230 with some other Mountune bits and I just pull the window down a bit when I want to hear the “real” noise lol Just concerned about this boost leak and how would you know if it’s happening. Btw what are your thoughts on the mk8? Will you change yours for one when it comes out?

[@AdamRainey]

Cheers mate! I wouldn't say I dislike the symposer as such, I just figure the exhaust is giving enough sound now to not need the symposer. It is definitely just a personal preference though :) For the boost leak thing, beyond you feeling any change in terms of power delivery, your options would be either boost gauge or getting the car on a dyno to see if you are down on power. I wouldn't be too worried tho, I think its a pretty rare occurrence

[@gooner70_ns]

Adam Rainey cheers buddy. I appreciate the advice. I know you like mountune. Any plans to visit their hq? Maybe their next cars and coffee morning? That will be next year i think

[@zodion8]

any differences in pops and bangs? mine only has a cat-back and a tune and she shoots medium-sized flames shifting from 3rd to second at 3k rpm

[@callumtreadwell]

cool video, is it the mountune exhaust you have?

[@AdamRainey]

Hi Callum! Yes it is indeed :)

[@diegudr]

Cant you just unhook the hose, rubber band a sock around the end to keep dust out. Then rubber band a sock around the symposer? I know that sounds ghetto but would that produce the same result sound wise? I just thought I might try that temporarily until I have time to do what you did. What do you think?

[@AdamRainey]

It wouldn't work the same though because boost pressure comes through this hose and a sock isn't going to be air tight so you would have a boost leak. You could use some kind of strong rubber sock or a bung of the appropriate size and then clamp it down but that wouldn't look as nice as a machined product like this or have the benefit of being able to run a boost gauge if you want to

[@benmalen3428]

Anyone get a check engine light when fitted ?

[@cm20081992]

Where did you purchase this symposer?

[@AdamRainey]

All my boomba parts came from SiCo delevopments

[@GabrielSTEFAN943]

Do you think this could be retrofitted to a car that doesn't have it ?

[@bongodave13]

If it has intercooler hoses, you probably could.

[@GabrielSTEFAN943]

@@bongodave13 Is the sound symposer electronic or mechanic ?

[@AdamRainey]

it is passive/physical. Boosted air is passed through a flappy diaphragm to make a noise

[@GabrielSTEFAN943]

@@AdamRainey Oh so I should be able to retrofit it to another car. Do you think it would work on an N/A car ? Any idea of how to get the noise into the cabin ? How is it directed into the cabin in the case of the Fiesta ?

[@albertolivera7271]

What are the pros and cons of doing that ?

[@AdamRainey]

Pros: remove fake noise so that you can hear real car sounds, remove potential boost leak, slight potential boost gain Cons: slightly fiddly to get clamp off, less 'performance' sound without having an aftermarket exhaust

[@albertolivera7271]

Adam Rainey thanks man !

[@AdamRainey]

No probs Albert :)

[@albertolivera7271]

Someone told me if I just disconnect the ribbed plastic tube I won’t need the symposer kit because the box is sealed and won’t leak... do you know something about that?

[@AdamRainey]

Doing this won't get rid of the boost leak issues that some people get with the symposer and also it will still make a noise, you just will hear less of it in the cabin so really this is not the best solution

[@mixalisomonoia1989]

good video mate but you better use jubilee clips instead as i heard that sometimes it gets off with the stock one. i have the AET one.

[@arcthum]

Does the boomba symposer delete have a slot for boost pressure like the mountune one?

[@AdamRainey]

It does yea, has a grub screw right on top that you would remove to add a boost gauge

[@arcthum]

Nice.

[@Damo-gq6wl]

Does the Mountune exhaust ever drone ?

[@AdamRainey]

A bit but not as much as other exhaust systems

[@sharktail001]

Nice video mate and great talking the other day on insta.

[@AdamRainey]

Cheers mate!

[@Sportek24]

Does this give you more power or something ?

[@AdamRainey]

Not much, stops the little bit of wasted boost going into the symposer and then gets rid of the fake noise

[@Sportek24]

@@AdamRainey thanks

[@bongodave13]

Mine's coming from mountune in the mail today. I don't like the drone at freeway speeds. I want to hear my tunes.

[@AdamRainey]

if real sounds are what you are after then you won't be disappointed! :D

[@blacknoire]

Aye alryt wee muckers

[@partikelsmusic]

Tried it alone , no chance at -1C°. You need third hand to push up these composer. The clamp was relly tight, need to hands. maybe its too cold. But i hate these thing.

[@AdamRainey]

partikelsmusic Yea, an extra set of hands definitely would be an advantage. You need to try and squeeze the clamp all the way until it locks into the open position

[@partikelsmusic]

thx. put now a socket into the hose. :D Its ok for the moment an quiet too.
