I took the whole fender thing out. Yolo.

Took about 1 and a half hours...

This is why i was having issues... fxcking injen... Smh



And this is the finished install of the stock intake followed 07's orders and drilled a bunch of holes pretty much like he has on his. Trew in a new k&n e-0777.

The car runs better since theres no unregistered air coming through a hole in the intake... Thats good.

Aaand 80% of my blower whine is gone thats just not gonna work... So i think its time to get a zzp 3"

 

At least it was only $40. So you got a stock back up. But damn dude. Was it rubbing against the PCM?

 

No it was rubbing at the hole between the engine bay and the fender well basically. Really glad i caught that! But yeah... **** not having blower whine. buying the zzp 3" on tuesday lol

 

Do you think there is an increase in whine over the stock intake? I don't feel like buying an intake

 

Odd.... my modified box whines just a notch lower than the Injen intake I used to have.

It's a deeper whine, less high pitched, but still very loud.

Don't waste your money for whine man, lol.

Save for mods that actually make power.

Nope. That looks like it rubbed where it enters through the fender.

Adjustment, and better install would have prevented that.

Injen provides a little rubber strip to line the hole in the fender with to prevent anything like this from happening.

Thanks man. I worked hard to make it look nice and neat.

Redline has the larger airbox from the trail blazer.

The K&N is fine, but I installed a pre filter to keep the bugs out of the pleats.

Yes, but I don't drive my car in the winter.

I have driven it through heavy heavy rain though w/o issue.

 

well seems like staged and i are gonna be at a disagreement, but last night i had my injen, which whines like crazy, and with a modified box just like staged with the same filter, i can barely hear it until i'm flooring it, and then its about 70-80% less than with the injen.

now, my car came with the injen, so yo u guys can't blame me on this happening!

 

My car with modified airbox....


I can hear blower whine.... can you?? Bah haha

The Injen intake is higher pitched due to the harmonics from the metal pipe. A modified airbox has a deeper whine, lower pitch, but can def still be heard.

I'll take more flow over more whine any day though, lol.

 

that's crazy man. idk what the trick is because mine is NOTHING like that!

 

No trick... H62, 2.992" pulley, modified box.

Maybe you need to open up the holes more. I forget the dimensions off the holes in my box.

I believe all the bottom holes are 7/8" and the side holes are 1 1/4".

 

i knew better hahahaha change of sc would give you a completely different result in whine. thats a nasty rub burner. i remembered i pounded the opening out a lil for the injen.

 

ya hey makes more noise cause its an h62!

 

My RAW 3 inch rubbed off 2 fins on my PCM and I had to bend the lip on the from support to the fender to make sure it didn't rub. I have a piece of hard plastic between the coupler and fender opening since RAW didnt think it was necessary to put a longer bend on the upper piece lol

 

Oh and burner, a set of rotated mounts will keep the engine from moving and significantly reducing the rub if there is contact between the intake and the car. Unlike the stock mounts

 

Bring your injen to a exhaust shop, and tell them to patch it up. That's what I would do and save the money.

 

thanks for the advice, but this intakes all beat up looking anyway, been tired of seeing it under the hood. so a nice black powdercoated 3" zzp will do the trick plus more whine and maybe more power than before!

i am on the rotated mounts... engine still moves and bucks like a horse though

 

Are you going to throw it away? if so ill take it for free plus shipping. Well matters how much shipping is, due to im low on funds this month. Put a lot of $$$ in the car.

 

Do you have an upgraded upper engine mount rice? If not it can really help.

 

i had one for a while, i also had a ingalls dampener at one point. neither helped at all. all they did was keep my rotated mounts from stopping wheel hop

 

this.

 

yay i'm right on something!

 

 

You and your H62

Too bad riceburner didn't have a vid for comparison, but I have a feeling that a M62 isn't going to sound anywhere near that good with a modified airbox and K&N

 

 

when i get my new intake i'll do before + after vids with the same cameras for comparison :

 

ok well, i got my zzp 3" and put it in yesterday. took about an hour... got dam, that thing is a tight squeeze. took me the longest time to get the coupler between the TB and the intake on. besides that, nice, nice product!

it whines like a Jew in a sweatshop now

and... i forgot to take before and after vids... fml. sorry guys. believe me though, the difference is night and day.
