call me crazy, but im serious

on both of my trucks ive had the aftermarket intake systems i installed really made some noise under the hood when you put your foot down ... compared to the factory setup. putting my SLP CAI on my camaro didnt really do anything in that aspect. i hear an initial "sip" when opening the throttle that wasnt there before, but thats it. Ive read on this board that people like the noise their cold air setups make... i dont hear much of anything from mine, even when i turn the TB from the engine bay are LT1 intakes just quiet in comparison to other things or is mine just a church mouse? I just like noisy intakes, so im wondering if the ram air intake might be more a more audible setup. I already have the hood so changing to ram air wouldnt be very difficult.

opinions?

btw... no im not considering descreening my MAF

 

Maybe one of those famous "tornados" make noise--dunno, but it probably wouldn't cost you much to find out since there probably quite a few people who have them somewhere in their garage.JMHO

 

The Ram Air setup is "audible", at least mine is. But that's with the top cut completely open, no MAF, a 58mm TB and the Fernco sewer pipe connector instead of the cheesy stock bellows.

Or put a Vortech X-trim on it and the induction sounds will blow your mind.....

my old 58mm holley throttle body used to while loud like a blower. but i think it was because i didn't port the intake to 58mm. I have a 52mm and i can barely hear it.

 

De-screen your MAF.


















You had to know that was coming
I've heard that the Lingenfelter Super Tube is pretty loud, but I've never heard it first hand...

 

My MAF used to whistle (aftermarket) It eventually drove me crazy and I had to do a little work with the dremell tool.

 

I'm running Kooks headers with dual open collectors and 18" collector extensions on my LT1 bracket car. Who cares about the FI air intake sound, those dual open collectors are the best sound in the world!

my 52mm Holley throttle body/homemade 3" cai used to sound like a shop vac.

 

so an upgraded throttle body could make the noise im looking for? thats a lot of pocket change, but ill look into it i guess. I think im gonna try and find a used ram-air box first and see how that goes.

 

You couldn't hear my intake if your life depended on it lol

 

On my car...

Debaffled hood, be-baffled airbox, K&N Filter, Z06 MAF (No Screen), Fernco Coupler, and stock TB... mine sucks like a F-ing Hoover vacuum cleaner; it's loud.

 

Ive got the K&N FIPK and a 52mm BBK TB and mine whistles loudly under acceleration... Ive had more than one person think I have a blower and ask me...
I kinda like the sound..

 

Ok my air intake on my car sounds like a vacum cleaner and here is what i did to make it sound that way. First get ram air because you already have the ss hood. Then get a high flow air filter like a k/n or a airhog and put that in the ram air box. Then get rid of that stock intake elbow because that thing will kill your sound, and do not replace it with a rubber one because a metal will have a better sound. Then get 58mm tb and port the intake if you like and bam you will have that air intake scream. Trust me this works because I use the same setup on my car and it sounds like a darn vacum cleaner is under the hood. Do not descreen your Maf those wires are very sensitive and that screen is in there to protect it.

 

dunno i couldnt tell ya i cant hear **** over the loud mouth

 

I got a 52mm tb and SLP dual tube cold air setup...and mine sucks pretty loud...what SLP did you have? I love mine...and a good serup if you ask me.
