air intakes????????????

i put a filter in my Sl a few weeks ago and every time i let of the gas the filter starts to shake up a down and make and awful noise. people in my car think its gunna explode when they hear it.

I tried tying it down it stll doesn't work id this a common problem?

I waass also thing if i got a cold air pipe this wouldn't be an issue right?

What brand of filter did you use? Did you replace the pipe too or just changed the filter?

Are you talkin an open element cone filter? Or just put a new filter in your airbox?

i took the air bow off and i put in a open air filter. but is till have the stack rubber pipe that bends and shakes a lot. i tried tieing it down but it still akes an awful noise when i go over 4-5 rpm's. do i need a new (cold air in.)pipe?

So you removed your airbox, put on a K&N cone filter attached to your Mass Air Sensor, and the pipe that connects the MAS to your engine is what is shaking? Is your filter tightened on well? And is your MAS supported by a bracket of any kind?

What's the difference between the filters with a hole in the middle and the one's without a hole?

i cant tell if its the filter bangigng against the top of the hood or if its the filter against the side. I could even be the MAS pipe against the engine. It's usally happens when im not on the gas but not when the gear is slowing the car down. it happens in the middle when i saty at a constant RPM. and i tried putting brackets on it and it still didn't work. i even tried tying and taping it down. im open to any sugestions and advice you got guys.
thnx

Hmm, any chance you can get a friend to step on the gas while your looking under the hood so you can find out exactly what it is?

Yo NightRiderGT, did you ever figure out what went wrong? Did you fix the problem? I'm very curious as to what happened....
