custom intake = more noise??
custom intake = more noise??
hey guys i just finished making my own custom cold air intake. is it normal to be making a "growling" sound when accelerating?? also, for those who have made an intake... what did you do with that little tiny hose that connects to the airbox (about 1/8")?

Re: custom intake = more noise??
That vacume hose is called a "breather" hose, you are supposed to get a breather filter and plug it up with a breather filter. I did mine like that, cuz all the techs said you're supposed to.
Re: custom intake = more noise??
did you like what you saw fuzzy? just wondering what you were thinking. i don't know but if you have any questions i'd be happy to answer them. like i said in the post... it was really easy to do and it cost me less than $50.
