northvibe · Post by **northvibe** » Mon May 15, 2006 8:00 am

do your guys cai's make sucking sounds? like while idling and stuff

BlueCrush · Post by **BlueCrush** » Mon May 15, 2006 8:12 am

Only when the engine is cold. After it warmed up, I could barely hear mine at idle.

Mrizzle05 · Post by **Mrizzle05** » Mon May 15, 2006 8:13 am

Not on mine.... mine sounds normal i guess. i can listen to it when i leave in 2 hours. but i think its normal.*is the sound when your inside or outside. is it a loud sucking sound?

northvibe · Post by **northvibe** » Mon May 15, 2006 9:19 am

i can hear it in the car, but its where the filter is. i just call it my "turbo"

Mrizzle05 · Post by **Mrizzle05** » Mon May 15, 2006 9:50 am

my favorite sound is when your driving in the lower rpms and you tap the gas just enough to make the CAI sound like a turbo! that "ksh" sound... dont know how to describe it... but i love it.

Sounds awesome! Mine def makes the sucking sound when cold, and as far as I can recall (been over a week since I've driven it! ) made it all the time, just louder cold. Good to see you went with the TRD.

AKLGT · Post by **AKLGT** » Mon May 15, 2006 1:20 pm

lol. congrats on finally getting it installed! and i see your gas mileage going down and down and down.

northvibe · Post by **northvibe** » Mon May 15, 2006 1:55 pm

hahhahha @ damronjr and trdvibeyea i think damronjr and/or lancer recommened to me the TRD intake over the others if you wanted the SC the vibe so i went with that.trdvibe - yea my needle is already dropping in front of my eyes just driving to Target but on the noise getting there!

AKLGT · Post by **AKLGT** » Mon May 15, 2006 2:07 pm

yesterday, out at the tracks, i went through a half tank of gas and a half bottle of torco. 13 runs in!

was fun. so i'm sure you'll have lots of fun with your new intake! of course, i always recommended the TRD parts anyways.

northvibe · Post by **northvibe** » Mon May 15, 2006 2:10 pm

LOL how true Hope your such a TRD loyalist at heart

AKLGT · Post by **AKLGT** » Mon May 15, 2006 2:11 pm

can't help it. they are made to work best with other TRD parts. since you are going to look at the S/C.

03frostygt · Post by **03frostygt** » Mon May 15, 2006 9:36 pm

Cool video. Here's a lame question. First of all where did you purchase your TRD CAI (that wasn't the lame one). Are all the CAI this loud? I've been eyeing the Injen but as this is our everyday car not just a race car I don't want something that you'll get sick of hearing on a 13 hour trip.

AKLGT · Post by **AKLGT** » Tue May 16, 2006 1:14 am

cai all make a louder sound. but on a long drive, you're not gonna hear it unless you are constantly pressing and releasing the gas. it's like an exhaust, when you give it gas it's loud. when you lay off the gas, it's just... normal? it'll still idle louder than stock, but it's not bad. you get used to it.

northvibe · Post by **northvibe** » Tue May 16, 2006 2:03 am

03frostygt - I bought mine used from someone off of matrixowners.com , only problem was i am missing a rubber mounting screw, which ill have to find somewhere...They are loud when go WOT (wide open throttle) id say its the loudest over 4k rpms. when just cruising at highway or city speeds i dont even hear it, heck i think my cars still stock
