View Full Version : Intake whine?

I put my intake on last night right before the 403 meet. I notice that around 3000rpms during acceleration it whistles or whines briefly. Its actually kind of annoying. Does anyone know if I just have to tighten up the connections or do I just turn up my stereo?

Thanks,
Trevor

turn up the stereo, most intakes will do that...

Pretend its turbo.
Mine makes that whine/whirring sound about 2500rpms at a certain pressure on the gas pedal. Aside from, there nothing to worry about.

Yeah, cuz If I let off the pedal a bit, the noise dies. I just wasn't sure because I have had intakes on 2 previous cars and nothing whined. Thanks for your help

Mine kinda sounds like its sucking in air like crazy at that RPM.
What were you're your other 2 cars?
And are we talking CAI? That's what I've got whining.

I had a CAI on a '94 Probe GT, a short intake on a '00 Acura 1.6EL, and a short intake on the Accord. Its not a strong whine. I might just double check and make sure everything is tight enough, for peace of minds sake.

No. I bought the EL for my 18th Birthday. Drove it for 10 months, put almost 40K on it :D , and sold it.
To be honest, I wasn't happy with it at all. I liked the styling of it, but the interior finish/design just wasn't up to par in my mind. I like the Accord much better by far!

Hey, that EL is hell of a lot better than my sorry ass Civic sedan. Lousy Japanese and keeping us from getting anything decent on this side of the planet. I'd love to have a b16a sedan like them.

Is your Accord Vtec?? I forget Accord model/specs.

Yeah, my Accord is vtec. If I remember correctly its got 150hp / 152tq (yes! a Honda with more tq than hp!!!) Its too bad Honda didn't give the option of a manual transmission on the V6 Accords. I'm pretty sure its a 2.4L but I don't know the engine code. Lets just say I'm not mechanically inclined ;)

Did you get an AEM intake, cuz when I got mine I noticed it big time on mine.. .and it was very annoying at first but then after awhile I just talked myself into thinking it was a supercharger whine! haha... but yes, it's normal apparently becuz of the amount of air (or the increase there of) its sucking in...

The Accords coming out in September are 2.4L though.

This is why you buy VW. You don't get the Whining noise you get a GROWL ... my buddy just put a Nuespeed intake on his 99 GTI VR6 and well honestly when he flooors it you hear a Growl. it sounds sooooo sweet :D

I like some german cars. My mom has a Passat GLX and its a huge peice of crap. Plus, I couldn't find the exact Jetta I wanted when I was looking. I actually think she wants to get rid of it, take my dads MDX and let him get a Boxter. SLK, or something :dunno:

I knew Shei (sp?) put an intake on his GTI. My sister was telling me about it a week or so ago. Might be the difference between a 4cyl and a 6cyl though.

My intake growls more at higher rpms. It now whine's briefly around 3000rpms, if I let off or give the car more gas, the noise goes away :dunno:
