Password PowerChamber Intake Noise Questions
For those of you who have either j's/passwordjdm cf powerchamber intake aka whale *****. Do you guys hear any high pitch sound at certain rpm like blowing whistles? it got pretty annoying since it's very loud.
Is this normal or i got a leak somwhere?

I just took off my loud *** exhaust and know all I hear is my engine. I too hear that whistle sound, but do not find it annoying. I also thought that I had a leak but ended up just being the intake. I think it sounds pretty sick when vtec engages. Sounds like a rhino doing a death charge towards you.

you guys have a leak. No that is not Normal. most of the time its near the TB when its real loud. It could even be between the TB and IM

My hot hot fluid dynamics designed PVC garage made intake has a whistle, mainly because I haven't cleaned up any of the pipe unions yet, or radiused the inlet tube. Air rushing over sharp edges will whistle, no matter what.

i have no noise with mine either....double check all valves, hoses, clamps, etc...and i definitely agree with EK Forever Guy...best sounding intake IMO.
lol actually pretty funny...ive taken SRT-4s through traffic on the highway..and i mean like, embarressed them. and what's even better is that my car is stock (except for intake obviously), and when i got to a light and they got to the light..they actually asked me if i was running a built GSR motor cause it sounded "hella deep"...and when i told them its a bone stock SOHC, he laughed and didnt beleive me...but whatever....yea, thought i should share

thanks for the reply. However, the intake is new, so the filter is new as well.
I've got a few buddies who use the j's intake, they don't have this noise at all. the only time i hear this noise was when i had my generic cai or short ram.

its physics people. air passing by an edge if a surface at the right angle and speed while produce a whistle. its just like a strong wind blowing and you hear a whistle.
