ok i installed a aem v2 intake like 3 weeks ago n it was sounding beautiful buy now when i ram it. it doesnt make that same nosie it was .what do u guy think it is . it sounds ok not bad but i have to ram it harder to hear the intake

 

my guess is that by now you've gotten over the initial excitement of the intakes sound.

after a while, we tend to get used to the sound of things. after I installed my xlr8 exhaust, I was all 'holy crap this is loud'...but after a month, I don't even think it's loud at all.

it's just your mind playing tricks on you man.

 

idk but i use to hear this click sound b4 it would hear a rrrrrrrruuuuummmm noise n now i dont hear it maybe be i should take it out and clean it and install it again

 

clean what?

 

the intake take it out and clean inside of it n put it back

 

what? no...you don't need to clean the inside of your intake...

what do you think is inside the tube that is preventing you from getting the rrrrrrruuuuummmm sound?

 

i do get the rummm noise but b4 that i use to get a click n then rumm n to get the rumm i have to ramm it harder

 

WTF!!! LOL Dont get dragged into this nonsense shark!!!! LOL the ruuuuummmmmm noise!!!!! ahahahahaaaaaa Just push the pedal until it goes no more...youll here the rrruuuummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!! Some people crack me up

 

I had a dead possum wadded up in mine. I rammed it so hard, I put my foot straight through the floorboard and the possum blew through my throttle body and got stuck in my intake runners. I just Sea-Foamed it and all is fine now.

 

Yep def remove everything and clean it. Then report back with results.

 

maybe ur filters messed up? ive had mine for a year n havent even cleaned once n it sounds/wrks perfectly =))) once it gets warm its time to take bumper off.

 

Dude you're supposed to get the click sound when you ram it!!!

 

Dope

 

Did you find a cure for lead foot syndrome? =]

 

I'm not sure about what you guys are ramming or why, but you might want to make sure that the filter is properly attached and so are all the connection points. ALWAYS check your screws/bolts for proper torque after a drive after an install and make sure they are to spec.

 

GUYS GUYS.... OP, search my friends. Did u disconnect the battery? My guess is that u did when u installed the V2. The computer resets when u disconnect, therefore has an adjusted airflow while it learns your driving habits. After it learns & adjusts to the ideal air fuel ratio, your car will feel like it has lost the CAI kick. This brings us to the age old argument.... will CAI really improve HP? In my opinion, not after the computer adjusts to the factory specs.

But PLEASE.... don't take my word for it. I won't even bother arguing about it. SEARCH FOR YOURSELVES.

BTW. I too have a AEM V2. Have had it for years.

 

LLLMMAAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

NO do not take off the intake and clean it...u just installed it....thers nothing wrong with it
i dont know what u thought about the install but i fuken hated it....i installed it last february while it was freezing in new jersey

what you are experiencing my friend is something called adaptation to noise lol
this happens to every part i install

intake....j pipe....exhaust....wil soon be pcds
u just get used to the sound

 

well im atleast make sure i installed it correct i think i did because it real easy but it maybe that something is lose maybe, uma check it this wendsday the 19 so i let u guys know and the 19 because im going to go to an acurazine member to change something on my 04 tl headlights so while im at it im going to take a real quick look at it i think its maybe cuz of the weather since itz mega snow in central jersey.. And where can i get seafoam?

 

lmao ur thing says u live on exit 9 jersey. Does that mean u go to rutgers?

 

WOW...thats all i have to say about this thread

 

I have heard this before on some Honda/Acura's I believe it is the Vtec sileniod engaging vtec " which is the click" you hear right before you hear the vtec boom.

 

also the click your hearing in the seleniod may or may not be a normal sound... I used to hear that on my previous car "Integra Type R" and if I am correct I believe the seleniod runs off of some sort of fluid pressure that opens it thus engaging vtec..... I think its more prevelant on some cars then others, not every car and piece of equipment sounds the same.... Not sure if our seleniods operate the same way as the ITR as it was a 2001 and things could have changed .... again thats what I believe it is since I distinctly remember the "click" as well.

 

agreed

 

I <3 CAI threads.

If you have to ram it harder to make the rrrrrrrruuuuummmm noise more than likely you are just used to the sound like others have suggested. It can't hurt to double check your work making sure sure everything is tight and there are no possums where they don't belong. Especially if you ram it hard.

 

Just installed mine! the sweet whistle followed by thunder

 

I just finished high school so I'm takeing a year of vacsion because I might go to uit or marine

 

I just installed the AEM v2 CAI this weekend. Here is some photos of my work. (more via the link)

The OP's posts physically make my head hurt.

 

^ yeah i remember this thread.

i wonder whatever happened to OP...i wonder if he ever got that rrrruuuuummmm sound he was searching for?

i guess we'll never know...

 

just wondering, do you guys all leave the MAF sensor alone? I took mine and plugged it into the hole on the aem v2 cai(shown in pic above). and yes, i did extend the wires otherwise it wouldnt have reached.

 

Your car doesn't have a MAF sensor...

 

fine, whatever that sensor is called, MAP sensor then? the one that plugs into the oem intake manifold by the throttle body.

 

+1 to this thread and +2 to the sound of rrrrruuuummmmmmmmm

 

i know what you are saying and i did it myself too, looks like some of the guys in here don't know about it lol...

 

What about the K&N kit ????? Does anyone use this kit... its about 320 bucks...i have a 2008 TL type S

 

Waste of money

 

Is this a joke?

 

RRRRRRRRRRRRRUUUMMMMM, jajajajajajaja, RRRRRRRRRRRRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMM MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!

 

19 year olds.. still young and naive. (No offense to OP).

No need to take it apart, you're just used to the sound by now. It happened to me within a few weeks also. I barely hear my V2 now unless I'm at 4k+ rpm..

 

aww man i now i hear a rattling noise (not to bed bothered about) when i accelerate but i believe that the filter came a little loose. I'm going to have to take my bumper off again, oh well i guess now i can take this chance to plug in my 8k HID bulbs hehe.
