HELP! Intake Knocking on Hood
I have a 01 civic dx coupe and I bought a cheap ebay short ram intake and it knocks on the hood really bad when the car is cold and when I back up. I fastened it down with a big zip-tie (ghetto, I know...) but it still knocks bad. My question is has anyone else had this problem with the crappy ebay intake? And also does anyone have the injen short ram intake? And if so, how do you like it?

Re: HELP! Intake Knocking on Hood
which end is knocking on the hood TB end or filter end ? and the injen product will be far superior in fitment , design and looks than ANY ebay intake

Re: HELP! Intake Knocking on Hood
yea i didnt get if it was sarcasm or not matt lol but yeah i agree i would just put the stock intake back on since your not going to gain anything from our d17 it just makes the bay look uglier and empty like somethings missing

I know you dont get any real hp gains on a d17 (thats why I want to sell it). But i made the mistake. I only paid around 30 bucks for it also. And i think it knocks on the TB end of the intake

I cut it down a little bit today and it still hits a little. Not as bad though.
How far did you cut it down?
And nobody has the injen intake?

Re: HELP! Intake Knocking on Hood
He probably right that an Air intake don't give extra power but it give very aggressive engine sound and that what i like. I guess that not everyones can afford gaining alots Horse power on their civic. I don't see why would peoples add huge turbo and power in their civics unless they competiting.

Throw that ish out, or sell it to another ricer on ebay. all that intake will do will make more noise and lower the value of your car.

I had a shitty ebay intake until today and it knocked around all the time. Finaly had some good weather out my way so i put my stock air box back on without the resonator. Stock air box 4 the win.

Re: HELP! Intake Knocking on Hood
Considering all an intake really is is a metal pipe with a cone filter on the end, I doubt injen's intake is a superior design, other than fitment.
There are lots of ways to stop the rattling. Isolate where it's rattling at, and just use your head.
....and get a K&N filter for it.

Re: HELP! Intake Knocking on Hood
i have injen intake! stock airbox sucks, smooth piping and filter will give it SOME more power, just not alot. but i think my car is a lot smoother in acceleration than before
