Homemade CAI problem
Waz up guys? I have a 1997 Camaro 3.8 V6, i made a CAI intake out of 3" inch pvc and use a round racing filter. I also drilled a hole in the pvc for the sensor that checks the tempature of the air....the thing looks good, however, it makes a horrible loud sucking noise. I know this isnt normal. I've heard CAI 's on other cars (even 4 bangers) and they sound beefy....please help!!!

Re: Homemade CAI problem
Go to a parts store and look at the rubber grommets they have near the pcv section, you may find something that will fit. If not, I'd try a little Permatex around the sensor to seal that air leak...

Re: Homemade CAI problem
you must have created a serious vacuum lead somehow most likely as ct91rs eluded to. albeit some suction is concidered normal depending on how wide you ran the tubing and how short.

Re: Problems with Intake !
It's the style air filter you used. I bought an intake off ebay a while back that looked similiar to this: http://www.mattdesmond.com/ebay/DAC_intake1.jpg
Is that the style filter you used? If so, then it's normal. When I put it on it made this really loud hissing sound which bothered me at first and made me think something was wrong, but I got used to it and found it was normal.
