Engine Noise level with installing a CAI?(curious what other people have to say

[Garnetdawn]

Basically it went from being quiet to very noticeable with installing a CAI I even took the filter off for about a day to see if their was a change but it stayed the same.

Mine sounds normal.... the intake you hear sucking in air when you floor it.. its normal.

X2. Take the insulation off the underside of your hood and then you will really have an engine under there... No joke

It's surprising how much of a difference those mats make really.

Mine was all nasty, With power steering fluid all over it and the belt snapped so it tore the crap outta of it. I just toke mine off to make it look better.

The only problem with removing the underhood pad is that the hood is not painted under it

hmmmm.....So take off the insulation and hit it up with high heat?...How good is it to just take of the insulation and leave it at that?

I hope I inspired some of you!

Certainly inspired me. I know she already has a nice roar at 3500 -4500 rpm, when I get a CAI, I may just take out the padding as well.

Plus when your painting it...You can drive around without your hood on.
