hey guys,
so i just put my intake in and im way happy with it, but when i turn my car on my engine is a lot louder just in idle is it suppose to do that i know more air is going in but i didnt think it would make it that much louder, and also when i first start the car my rpms with go between 750 to 1100 is this normal?

 

Probably not.

 

Check all your fittings. You shouldn't be louder at idle.

 

Lol Hes Fine Haha Drive It Around Keep Your Eye Out Watch Temp And Everything

I MISSED THAT LUDER @ idle maybe not

 

i didnt think it was either, but i dont know what to do i checked and rechecked all my fittings and its all good. can someone post a video of there car in idle with an intake please!!!

 

Check, the fittings and make sure everything is tight.

Try cleaning your MAF sensor.

What kind of intake?

 

its a k&n, and i have no lights check engine light coming on or anything it just seems like i can hear the pistons or something a lot louder

 

Car overall is going to be a lot louder.

And the K&N filter is probably getting oil on the MAF sensor. Go get an AEM dryflow and clean your MAF if you want piece of mind

 

ok i will do that for sure how much is it? and does it fit well on my k&n intake? also do you have a video of your engine in idle just so i can be sure? thanks for your help by the way

 

The oiled filters from K&N should be fine. It's when you re-oil them that there is a bunch of oil getting on your MAF. I have a K&N CAI also and its generally louder but if you arent getting any CEL's then I wouldnt worry about it.

 

I have an LE5 SS not a LSJ

Seriously the car will sounds totally different with an intake on, that is common sense.

And what dude said in the last post is correct...your car is fine...as long as it isn't CELing at you

 

ok cool thanks a ton guys i was way worries about it for some reason

 

Shouldn't be louder at all with an intake at IDLE.

 

Feel more power with the intake?

 

dude, post a video of the car at idle because the car is going to be alot louder at WOT, but like others said, it shouldn't be louder at idle
