i just installed my aem v2 intake and its sounds very nice b/w 3-4 thousand rpm's. The only thing that i don't like is the hum at idle. From what i have read, this is normal, so i wasn't worried about it, but i didn't really like it. Its not too bad since, if i have my radio on, it won't be audible. other than that, i did feel a slight increase in response to my foot hitting the gas, but nothing crazy.
-any input of comment from other users of the v2 are wanted
thanks

 

i love the hummmmm

 

I dont have a v2, so whats this humm? I just got this sucking noise

 

My intake hums as well, I like it, though my a/c compressor makes alot of noise. It works fine, but it's noisy. I may need to check the 134a level.

 

i;ll get pics today

 

I love how my short ram intake sounds on my V6 when I go gun it.
Vrrrooommm!!!










Did you notice more HP with the V2?
Did you have a stock intake before or a short ram?

 

I installed the V2 about 3 months ago and haven't really noticed any hum at idle--sounds pretty quiet to me. But when you punch it

I had the stock intake before and noticed a definite acceleration improvement with the V2 (2.2CL).

 

I've noticed better gas milage as well as the added power and sound since installing the V2 in my 2.2.

 

I'll leave that one alone.

 

Forget about the hum, just be happy with the suck...some guys don't even get that.

 

lol...

 

still got your springs...have you tried callin me by any chance?

 

the hum is fuking annoying to me, the bishes are always whining "i cant hear myself thinking with that humming.."

 

lol.. i went cold air intake instead of short ram its its a lot quieter INSIDE the car.. also the intake is on the right hand side unlike on the 3.0

 

wait till you get exhaust too...

just tell them to walk and slap em

mine doesnt make as much noise anymore so it probably wears in

 

with intake exhaust and seafoam i usually get 100 more miles per tank

 

Holy crap thats insane...... with seafoam and a SRI ive lost about 80 miles due to the lead foot..... guess thats my fault huh.

 

i still have the lead foot...sometimes

 

haha ive been trying to chill on the lead foot but it isnt working ive raced yesturday and today won all three times
yesturday a civic and a jetta (3 wide) and today an accord and a celica (3 wide) then an integra just us two

 

ohh and i was smart and raced in the same area where a statey lives everytime

 

here is a pic of the intake.
-after driving around a bit, the hum, isn't too bad, just needs some getting used to, but one thing i noticed that i am not sure if is normal or not is that when i hit the gas lightly or let go slowly, i hear a low volume, but high pitched noise. I turned on the radio and i could still hear it, since it is high pitched and it gave me a headache. I only comes when i hit the gas lightly(in the beginning for a second or two) or when i let go of the gas slowly. Is this normal?

thanks

 

yes it's normal.

 

At a certain rpm the velocity of the air passing through the filter created that high pitched sound, some would refer to it as "Wooot woooooot."- bubb rubb

 

It's normal. My SRI does it all the time when I tap the gas lightly, however when I push down the gas pedal some more it shuts off and my exhaust starts to howl.

 

yea, it only happens when i hit the gas slightly, and its like a high pitched tone, but the volume is very low and it only last for a couple of secs.
-any way to get rid of this sound?

 

I doubt it, you're just going to have to learn to deal with it. I'm sure the whistle sound my short ram intake produces is more annoying than your humm.

 

nope been busy...maybe well meet up this weekend. ill hit you up on your cell.

 

i hope i do get used to it

 

that whistle is annoying, but not as annoying as the loud UFO hum. That made me buy a CAI with K&N, just to try and lessen the humming.

 

lets start this intake thread up again intake for a 99 2.3 cl v4, do i get
the intake for a 97 accord DX or 97 accord LX/EX.... just looking for a short ram

cuz iv heard in hawaii since potholes are sooo bad, people water logged their
engine cuz of CAI. also does it make a difference between reg filter or Dual

Funnel air filter? http://store.racinglab.com/ho94ac4cyapp.html

 

just get an intake from a 94-97 4cyl Accord and you'll be fine

 

94-97 4 cyl EX Accords to be exact... regular filter vs. dual funnel air filter? I just slapped on the one my AEM CAI came with..

well, its been about a week and some now and i am finally used to all of the different sounds and i like them.
- however i do have one concern, it rained yesterday and i took a peak in through the side of my fenderwell lining (a clip is missing so i can push it in a see in a bit) and its seems that it does get wet there. the filter was wet and the area around it also. I mean it wasn't soaked or anything, but it was wet. I am just worried about any water getting in. I was also very careful and didn't go over any big puddles. So is this ok, or should i worry and can water slowly get sucked in so over time it can hydrolock the engine?

thanks

 

Better sound and gas mileage.

 

Unless you're planning to drive through a lake or standing water two feet high hydrolock isn't going to be a problem. Water will start coming into your car interior before you hydrolock it.

Definitely replace the clip though.

 

so small amount of splashing getting the air filter wet and maybe sucking in small amounts of water will not hurt?
-yea, i have to go to the dealer and get some more clips
