It sounds like its hissing when its at idle or a stop. Did I install it right? when I rev it does fade away a bit but I'm wondering if there might be something wrong. Yes i did connect the vacuum hose as well. I think it sounds pretty cool though.

 

Did you just get it? I'm pretty sure it should make some sort of noise. If i'm not mistaken that's just the noise of it sucking air? Mine makes the same noise.

 

Yes, hissing is normal on all open-element intakes.

 

Awesome, thanks guys it looks great and I love it. I am going to add the second pipe this weekend. 2 of the screws on to front bumper on the radiator support are stripped I want a new bumper haha

 

yes its normal

when your under the hood give engine a quick hard tap of the gas and itll make a nice noise ull never hear enough of lol

 

yeah that noise is normal with the intake.

 

yeah I live off a main 2 lane street that is like a half mile or something long and no one ever drives on it much, i took the eg up and down the street twice.. i loved the sound so much it makes me forget that i have a D under the hood and not a B anymore

I went on and tore the rest of the stock intake out and put the second half in anyway..

 

**** ,my short ram hisses to,i thought there was some kind of vaccum leak but i guess its normal

 

mine does it to.

 

mines too..love it how it does it right before it hits the next gear

 

my intake makes a whirling/winding noise... but maybe i'm just special

dude that mostly the whole point of gettin an intake i love that sound

 

Mine used to make that sound, now it doesnt. Or maybe I cant hear it over the valves and RC injectors?

 

Yes, it's completely normal. Your A-ok man.

 

my intake makes a spooling noise.... only because it is connected to the intake side of the turbo compressor

 

haha i like the hisss noise

 

word of opinional advice, get a cold air intake bypass valve from AEM, i didnt and thought id be ok, little did i know that water can cause a couple holes in the side of a block due to the rod slapping it since water got in the engine

 

hahaha i wish that would happedn to me, i would love to have a reason to swap.

jk i love my d and i love my intake hiss and how it whistels when u shift

 

On my Jeep after I bored out the TB it whistles like a BOV at like 2 grand....

 

heres what my custom ram air setup sounds like on my D

My e-bay short-ram whistles when the throttle butterfly is like just a bit open. Let's say i cruise in 4th or 5th gear and then i push the throttle down an inch or so to get a bit more power... its whistling like crazy... if i push more, it stops whitling and starts screaming! Heh...

ahah can i put this in my sig? haha yeah you installed it right.

 

Yep, it's normal.. it's something you'll like for a little while, but it gets old quick.. i don't like hearing it all the time, only when VTEC is screaming from the jdm b18c

 

"I gotta snake in my [intake]!"

^^Woody from Toy Story. =P

yeah you shouldn't worry my gay intake hiss's all the time.
