Hey everyone, this past week, ive knowticed a low mono tone humming comming from the engine...i think my engine has alwaysed hummed (when sitting in park or idling) but just this past week, its gotten REALLY loud...anyone know what it is and y all the sudden it got louder??

I AM do for the 90 thou service...maybe that could matter???

 

it's your intake. When sitting at idle, turn your A/C off, see if that makes it quiter

 

Welcome to the "3.0 Short Ram Hum Club" get used to it, it's not going away...and everyone will ask and stare at your car. Funny at first, but alittle annoying now. May go to CAI, but I heard that still hums to on the 3.0

 

Yep, i bought a CAI from a short ram and i noticed NO difference at all in noise or the hum. It still whistles like :bubbarubb !So, no reason to upgrade to the CAI, you still whistle. :bubbarubb

 

NICE ICONS!! LOL

"Jus FO Dekarashunz"

Thx for info on the CAI upgrade!

 

i dont think its only on the 3.0's either....mine hums its damn annoying. I'd love to get that taken care of.

 

no!! i have a CAI and i knwo the whisle your talking about...its not the AC or intake...its a mono hum when its parked or just sitting there...

 

its idling but one can be like the og short ram hummers but i would think that the car is idling

 

put your stock intake back on and check it. It may sound like it's comming from the engine but it's really not. When i put one on my girlfriends CL it sounded like it was the engine. So i put the stock intake back on. Sound went away.

 

I've heard the hum come from a short ram on Perfecto's car. But I've installed three cold air intakes on 3 CLs, and no humming what so ever. Just make sure you installed them correctly.

 

ive had my CAI on for like a year now...i mean ive always heard the humming but now its like louder...i donno...when i get the 90 thou check up, i will ask them what they think

 

It really depends on what intake Got Rice, the AEM's are real quite. I've installed maybe a dozen on CL's and V6 accords and they all have it, but the AEM's seem to be very quite.



Acura3.0CL. The dealer is just going to tell you it's the intake. It'll be their easy way out of the situation. Your best bet is to put on your stock unit. Then if it continues keep it on for when you go to the dealer.

 

All I've done on CLs were AEM. But I also did a Focuz short ram on a RSX and a Velocity CAI on a 1.8T...All no humming.

 

if it got louder all of a sudden, u might want to check the tube that connects to the back side of the intake, I think it hums louder when it comes off, or maybe when its on, I cant remember, but check it out

 

k... thanks for all the help!!
