noise level is increased (blower whine) and a slightly rougher idle in hot weather

Re: Disadvantages To Gutting Airbox

guys is the whining noise present when car idles? I am wondering If I should do the same this, however I dont race, barely speed and do not like cars which are too loud. I have jap economy cars with loud exhausts which trigger the cars alarms when they pass by.


I wonder if the noise will be too loud or too whiney. I must point out the car will be used in daily high traffic driving. Stop to stop, light to light... I live in queens, NY. So maybe that would be a bad this for me to do?? What do ya say

there is no blower whine at idle. You only hear the blower whine when it goes into positive pressure, pretty much only durring acceleration. You do not hear it at cruising speeds either. I have an intake on mine that is loud at idle, especially when it is cold. You can hear the engine sucking in the air, but no blower whine.

lukedogg is right.. you hear a whine under acceleration and the suction noise when the car is cold.. i dont even really notice it at all on the hwy unless i really get on it to blow by someone
