    Walbro's aren't as loud as many make them out to be when they are installed correctly. Using the rubber sock and mounting it correctly helps. But even with that they are normally louder than a supra pump. Keep more than 1/4 tank helps also.

    mine wasn't bad until it got really hot in the summer. Then it stopped sounding annoying and started sounding like it was broken.

    I just pulled my walbro lastnight and found tho o-ring wasn't seated correctly, causing my idle issues and 0psi fuel pressure lol. Installed it right this time and it is actually noticeably quieter now. I think it was resting against the hanger too much before and caused it to sit at a funny angle and not seal, also making the hanger amplify the noise. I actually don't hear it over then exhaust now.

    if you can hear your fuel pump over your exhaust, you have a problem. (hint: problem would be your exhaust).

    you can't have stock exhaust with engine upgrades. iirc stock exhaust must go first, even with little higher boost on 9bs.
    Those, who stand for nothing, will fall for anything.
    On the Internet you can be anything you want. It's strange that so many people choose to be stupid.

    Replacing the stock cat-back with stock turbos is a waste. I would say if your under 400hp the stock exhaust is still fine. You will gain very little. I love the stock exhaust, nice and quiet. I don't plan on changing it out anytime soon.
