stopped the short ram intake hum
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.

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

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!

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

the short ram
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.

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.
