I just got a crappy short ram intake off ebay to see if it will help with MPG since I comute almost 100 miles a day. my question is is there any way to make it quiter, the growl sounds great but might be a little loud for all the driving I do.
by the way my engine and exhaust is stock and the kit came with a washable cone filter.

 

go back to oem? Other than thats theres not much you can do..

 

add some more piping and turn it into a CAI. that might help.

 

CAI gives you better gas milage and sounds better. go with a aem its carb legal. sucks if you get popped by popo here in cali

that will definatly help. did this to mine cause it sounded like a friggin b16 and it made it a lot quieter

 

don't press the gas pettal so hard and it wont be so loud. it should only get loud if you're at 1/2 throttle or more.

 

I've got the short ram and it's great. Sounds cool when you want people to think you have more under your hood than a naked D-series. I've got stock exhaust and headers but i/m/o it's only loud when U give give it more than 3/4 pedal

 

get a comptech icebox intake, its not too loud like a aem cai

 

is making that noise because of the filter.
get a k&N filter and you will be ok!!

 

ahh you'll get used to it.

no. it is making that noise because the stock system is out. the stock system, while restrictive has been "tuned" to be quiet. there is/are resonating chamber/s. the filter is contained in a box that is made out of plastic(plastic keeps the sound in too). on a short ram or hot air system the filter is wide open, so all the "noise" gets "out".

 

tell everyone that its part of your turbo... haha

 

aslong as you dont go full throttle you'll be fine...just today i was in a rush to come back home from picking up some parts and stepped on it about 1/2-3/4 on the throttle and all i could hear was my motor...i took it to 6k too...no kidding...

 

6K? Try 8200

 

i think you need to learn how to GRADUALLY press on the gas.

the first thing people do when they get an intake is rip through the gears to hear it roar.

on my car everyday driving you couldnt even hear the intake
