CAI Install Today...
I love the increased throttle response and at WOT forget it, sounds awesome and pulls a lot harder!! Raced a 95-96 auto 10 minutes ago and destroyed it, Im auto too. The sound this thing adds is amazing, but I have one problem...
At higher RPMs, like 4000+, I hear a kinda loud vibrating sounds. I cant tell if it is the piping against the hole, or if its the wheel well lining (the filter was pressed up against it in there.
I'm hoping it is the piping cuz all I will have to do is put some rubber or something in there. I didnt put the edging that came with the CAI because I couldnt get it to seat on the edge of the hole. It was too hard to bend.
Someone give me a suggestion before I go taking my battery out again, or opening up the wheel well.
Thanks!!

I noticed on mine that at the bend in the tube, it was hitting the wheel well surface behind it. I squeezed in a heel insert (for shoes) in between and the violent growl at WOT has much less of that shaking quality like something is not quite secure...

Ok, tomorrow Ill take the battery out and wedge some rubber or silicone or whatever I can in between the piping and the hole. Hopefully this will get rid of the loud vibrating sound.
I was just curious to see if anyone had experienced the wheel well lining vibrating, but it doesnt seem like it would make this much noise, its definitely the piping.
Thanks for the help fellas, Im gonna go out now and enjoy my faster Maxima for the night.

You should definately put the edging around the hole which came with the kit.
