99 hona civic dx intake question
i just put in a cheap apc intake in my honda recently and i got it all in all tubes are on right
everything feels tight and nothing looks lose but i hear ALOT of air
but like even when the car is idle i can hear air going thru the intake like we i take off from a stop light i can hear the intake
... are intakes suppose to be loud ? Like you hear the air sucking?

Yep. You just removed all the factory plumbing that is desgined to eliminate all that noise--thus all the new noise. Worry not.

Not to be pissy, but them APC intakes and filters aren't all they seem. Trust me, I had 2. Heck I even tryed to use 1 with half of the other to get in a goo location. But never could due to the bend and the crap filter they give ya. Get yourself a ebay CAI and filter man, like $39. You will notice more of the noise, but will be also seeing a better breathing motor. In my personal opinion.

we had an intake in it already but it was for an EX model and it was crammed in and bent the filter so we got the APC because it was 60$

I used a APC intake and filter on my D16z6 a while back and it worked just fine. I heard my VTEC switch over and I felt a good power difference....just make sure you put it on right so the **** isn't hanging all over the place and falling off.
