I installed an apexi air intake (not cold air) and now my engine sounds like it is going to blow up. It is definately much louder than the stock, but it just doesn't sound right. This is the only thing done to my 2002 SE. After about a month it blew my MAF and I installed a 2001 with the mod and reset the ECU. From a start it is okay, but punching it from a cruise makes it sound like the engine is going to blow up? I'm afraid to take it over 5500 rpm. any one else have this?

 

that what it is supposed to do. it is sucking in the air and makes a growl type sound

 

From about 5500 to redline mine makes a noise, kinda like that. Sounds cool to me.....not like its going to explode but like a trumpet

 

Any intake will make the engine significantly louder. If you do not like the noise, simply remove it.

 

Thats what it is supposed to do. I think it might be wise to research the products you are buying beforehand to make sure you know what you are getting into.

 

it is going to make the sound louder..... take it over 5500 rpms and if it actually explodes, well we were wrong.......

 

It's Al Qeada. Derkah-derkah!

 

you are complaining about the best part of an intake?



and the sound is actually the only thing an intake will give you

 

just like the guy who complains about supercharger whine, and asks the dealer to remove the blower, 2 days after purchasing an 03 cobra.

rofl.


besides, if youve never heard an engine blow up, you shouldnt be comparing sounds to figments of your imagination...

 

I knew I was going to take a beating on that one......he he

 

yu had it coming when yu posted it now suffer the consequences

 

Keep in mind that the same holds true of exhaust systems. It makes it louder but that's about it unless you have ported the heads for more flow.

 

you arent serious.

 

nfisher50- this is totally normal...vq35's with intakes sound very loud from 6,000 RPMs and up...rest assure your motor will not blow..thats assuming if you've kept up with your scheduled maintenance...

I remember doing a 5th gear pull to almost redline in my 6spd....my tach needle was well into 6k RPMs...now thats LOUD!

 

Wooooow I thought I got made fun of on the other org!!! NYCMAXIMAS

 

yep. picks up at VIAS switch, and again around 6K. sounds real nice under a bridge...

 

I installed the Injen cold air intake on ma 2000 Max SE. The intake makes a whistle kind of noise every time i accelerate. Don't know what's wrong.

PLEASE HELP!!!

 

Its SUPPOSED to make that noise, thats the only real advantage of having an intake is the cool sound. As far as that whistiling noise goes, check your tubing and connections to make sure there isint a leak.

 

Its supossed to do that because " THE WHISTLE TIPS GO WOOOO WOOOO" -bubb rubb

 

ROFL AHAHAHAH, I remember seeing that video
