I just installed an AEM V2 cai intake on my 01 4cyl accord. This is the first performance mod I have ever done in my life, so please bear with the stupid question. The install went smoothly but i have no idea how its supposed to sound. What are sounds that I should listen for to see if everythings installed correctly? Theres a new sound that I hear now because of the cai when the car is on. It sounds like theres air passing through the filter which i think should be good right??. Other than that i noticed a gain in power during the test drive which is good. Please help out guys thanks.

 

Seems to me like everything is fine. Just make sure everything is clamped on tight. The connection to the throttle body, vaccum hose, filter, etc. Yeah you'll definitely hear that air flowing sound because of the different material in piping from the factory intake.

 

Yep sounds like you correctly installed it. You will also hear a whistling noise at a certain RPM range (around 1800-2200 i think). That's is normal.

 

THANKS GUYS!!! For a moment there I was worried thatI screwed up.

 

And the slight clamp of the TB when you turn off your car....its orgasmic.
