Hey

So i just installed a ractive cold air on my car, and now its starting to squeal everytime i hit the gas. Its just getting real annoying. It kinda sounds like a belt squeal, but its not.

Whats going on with this noise? How can i stop it????

Thats just the noise the intake makes when its sucking up air. You cant do much to stop it.

 

Would it help if i got a different intake?

Does anyone else have this problem???

The piping is basically the same on most intakes. You may get a different sound with a different filter though. I dunno if Ractive has there own filter or what.

 

squealing? could you describe that more?

 

its like a squeal or a whinning sound....like a belt squeal.

And its not from the filter, i took it off and it still made the sound. Its just real annoying!

Got a pic? Is it a repetitive noise, or a constant noise? LIke is it squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek, or is it "squeek, squeek, squeek, squeek, squeek, squeek"

 

Its the repetative squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee l . if someone can tell me how to put a music file on here, i could upload one. I personally think that its the piping, cause i know its not the filter. Does anyone else have this type of problem? What kind of intakes does everyone have on here?

dude, it's either repititive, or its a long constant squeel, so which is it?

DUDE I HAD THAT SAME THING ON MY CIVIC!!! It was driving me nuts. I bought my first one off ebay and it said it was an official injen intake... bs. It made so much noise that I switched to a k & n filter and it quieted down. In the end I was burned out about the whole thing so I bought an injen short ram and it only makes the sound when you shut off the engine but to me I love it because it sounds more like a "phewwww" than a "squeeeek"... Get a new filter or just a whole new kit.
