~v6 Intake Hummmmm~

HEY MY INTAKE MAKES THE UNMISTAKABLE HUMMING SOUND WHILE ENGINE RUNNING I FIGURED THIS IS NORMAL BECAUSE MY FRIENDS 3.0 CL DOES THE SAME (BY THE WAY I LOVE THE SOUND EVERYONE ALWAYS ASKS WHAT MAKES IT)
I HAVE ANOTHER FRIEND WITH A NEW MODEL ACCORD WITH THE SAME 3.0 ENGINE HE HAS A RACTIVE HEAT SHIELD INTAKE

BUT HIS INTAKE DOESNT HUMM???? WHY ?? I THOUGHT IT WAS ALL IN THE V-6 MAKING THE SOUND IM NOW CONFUSED?????

hummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I've talked to the boys at Weapon*R and they call it the UFO hummmmm ... Funny thing is it only does it in the 3.0 CL! I've talked to other people with different brand short ram intakes in their 3.0 and they say it make a weird humm too .... so it's normal

it's normal with the weapon r dragon intakes.........at first i thought it was the foam filter, went and got a new filter same shit, maybe even a little bit louder. Then i thought it was the air diffuser (fins), so i ripped that out.....still same loud ass hum........now i'm just gonna get a CAI. Other short rams hum but i don't think it's as loud as ours.

Actually, both! But referring to the initial "shock" when I put the short ram on.

hear my 3.0 hummm here



i'm guessing that the resonator tube damps out more sound in the accord than ours... and also i think the cai doesn't make the typeS hum either...

I heard Perfecto's hum...I don't like that at all. Sounds like something is broken. Annoying.

Ok that worked. That sound is louder that mine I think. I dont have all of that sucking sound that goes along with the humming. My hum might be a little louder though.

the sucking sound is actually not as loud as it seems in the video clip.. my digital cam picks up more high frequencies than low frequencies.. so the hum is actually alot lounder than the sucking sound! kee kee...

ohh i wish we can all do a meet together and see who's got the sweetest hum! ahahaha

If you want it to sound like a turbo, leave the rubber part of the stock intake on...then connect a tube going to the tire well and add the filter to that.

That way...#1, CAI and #2, the small resonator will "wishppp" everytime you suck air or release the gas.

That was my setup before...Sounded kinda cool, plus no damn annoying humming sound.
