just wondering if everyones intake makes the same noises mine does. When the car is on, the intake does its normal swoosh of air, but i noticed that when i press the buttons for the windows, lets say the windows are already down and u press it to go down more, the intake will make a little noise like a baby terradactyl

 

I have AEM intake CAI and have never had this problem.
03 CLs6speed : ComptechUSA header,exhaust,springs,sways; p2rracing plenum,throttle body spacer; ur crank pully, AEM pullys. Car runs great. Plan to tune to get better performance from mods. Currently get 32mpghighway@70mph ,27mpg combined.

 

I have an AEM V2 on my car, and it does the same thing the OP mentioned, I thought it was normal and plus I like the swoosh of air, it sounds tight, can anybody confirm this? I do know that I need to clean the filter (its a dryflow) and I have the stuff to clean for it, but just been lazy

 

The swoosh is normal. I'm not quite sure what a baby terradactyl sounds like though.

 

They make a lot of strange noises. Hence why I swapped to the Icebox.

 

lol, alright well u know if your windows are down, and u press the down button again on some cars the lights might dim a bit. Well my lights dont dim the intake just takes a small gasp or air, its pretty funny actually

 

its normal. also when you turn on the a/c it will make a louder sucking noise. the engine has to work a little to power the electronics so that causes intake pressure changes. I personally love it, all sexy and mechanical sounding.

 

I have an AEM V2 and i get the whoosh when the engine is cold and used to have the occasional obnoxious resonance but teradactyl noises? hmmm

 

Baby pterodactyl. That's a new one. I get the whooshing sound, no pterodactyl sound though. This is with an Injen CAI on a Type-S.

 

Icebox here and I can't tell the difference in sound from stock air box

 

i had an icebox on my old cl-s, didnt really hear any differences untill i shut the car off...best sound imo

 

I have a 6spd with the AEM CAI and i dont got any crazy noises other then the heavy breathing and the sucking sound when i turn it off... you should make sure it is fully tightened to the TB and make sure none of the hoses/clamps are loose or have holes in it...if all looks right then i would say its a normal noise...

anyone find a sound clip of a Baby Pterodactyl....

 

think i found it....
