I pull into my local shop today and my mechanic is like "WTF is that humming noise.. sounds like SHIT" we pop the hood and hes like "damn we gotta fix that." so he puts a k&n filter to see if that would help... nope then me n him both hold the intake pipe to see if that will help... no. so we take the the son'bitch out and cut the elbow off of it so it looks like my engine has a straight pipe goin out and bingo no hum at all. you can only hear it if you put your ear really close.

no shit, all you have to do is cut off the bend huh? I spent like 300 bucks on AEM and weapon R intakes trying to get that damn humming noise to stop, unfortunatlly im not going to start hacking either one of them.... guess ill get used to the hummmmmmm

Nautsiju

my shop hacked it then all you have to do is sand the metal shavinges off till you have it smooth at both ends. took about 3 minutes

unlewser

That makes a lot of sense since the humming is resonance from the tube, I've always said a SRI is like hooking a giant tuning fork up to your TB

Nautsiju

heres a pic of it.

literally a SHORT ram intake. Someone had a chode of an SRI. Was it cocoa? I remember seeing one REALLY small.

Nautsiju

i dont think it was cocoa but i know who your talkin bout they have a 3" intake. i would have done that but the venting tubes are spaced out to much

Nautsiju

i just finished the custom mounting. now it shouldnt rattle at all.

Hey all!

Got my AEM and now know to research any nuisances before I buy something. Needless to say my car is a GIANT HUMMING BIRD!

Nautsi ju have you had any problems since you did this? Has anyone else tried it? When you hack the intake does it also decrease the nice GROWLING you get while driving?

What K&N filter to put on the AEM SRI? I thought I read 97BlackAckCL had to use a CAI K&N.


HHHHHHHHHHHHHMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM MM!

Nautsiju

nope no problems at all. and i still have the beefy sound.

I put a cai on my car instead of the sri to reduce the hum cuz people on here said they didn't have the hum from a cai. I also put the k&n filter on the cai, cuz it was the right size, the SRI i had was too thick for it to fit.

haha yeah tis was me.. I didnt notice it to tell you the truth... Now that I think of it, it didnt hum for me when I had it that way...

I knew I did something right when I put that intake on and it didnt hum like everyone was complaining about. I just didnt think of it...

As for heat, I have a little bit of an idea for not allowing hot air to ride up in that filter... I'm going to see if it works though

when you put on the short ram, how did you get the whole OEM intake out i got everything out excet the part that goes down through the metal part? i tried to firure it out and it looks like i have to take out the plastic part of the wheel well and the front bumper.

read the diy guide

If you are installing a short ram, you don't need to remove the resonator box in the bumper/fenderwell

I hacked the bend in my intake off on my 01 CL-S and had similar results. It reduced the hum by a significant amount (~70%). It was a trade-off though--now you can REALLY hear the suction from the throttle body.

Blind_Shooter

shoulda gone with the cai and you wouldnt be humming everywhere you go. damn hummers. those are some cute little intakes :theghey:

I just took out my resonator nd it doesnt hum what so ever.

South Jersey CL

Quicksilver300 also had a chode of an SRI.

CLpwner

or Matt (97xghost) when he was messin around with something, sometime... haha... Don't feel like getting a picture, but it was straight from the intake manifold.

Blind_Shooter

they remind me of those breather filters for mopeds

purple3.0haze

idk i bought mine so it would make that noise maybe i'm just a dumb SOB

Germ

i really like how this frees up some space around that area...i was gonna do this but then i got a CAI...

97BlackAckCL

I have plenty of room with a CAI I have lots stuffed over there

Germ

yeah i do too..but with that cut off short ram you dont have that pipe going down to the bumper. but then i wouldnt have anything to put there anyway..
