Sound at high rmp after installing K&N short Ram
Hello,
I installed K&N short Ram intake on my car and after there is sound coming out somewhere in the hood when my rmp goes up when I drive.
The sound is really bothering me.
Please help me fix it.
I tried everything and tried to find where the sound is coming out from, however I failed.
Does anybody had a same problem??
The sound sounds like some metal is hitting on something.
clicking sound? hard to explain kk

that is the sound the K&N intake makes at high rpms....some like it, some don't. I hated it and sold it within a month. it sounded to me like a coffee can full of bumble bees.

I don't think it is detonation personally....I think what he is describing is the normal retarded sound that intake makes. How can swapping out an intake suddenly cause detonation?

i know exactly what your talking about, the sounds starts at like 7-10 rpm like your engine is going to burst, that the sound that the typhoon makes, ive had it and sometimes i think my engine is coming out the hood it rattles the car at high rpms, if that what your trying to describe is just the k&n sucking in air at a much greater volume, id say dont worry about it, after it adjust you wont notice it as much.

Generally the intake is supposed to get louder as the RPMS climb and the can of bees sound is normal when your pushing 8-10K RPMs. Need a sound clip or something man.

I don't buy Kool-Aid
Sorry...
felk420 you will hear detonation at high rpms. I have heard this in two of my friends RX-8's. One on the freeway from 60mph to 80mph let off the gas then hit it and we could hear it. Its low and deeper than a clunking sound its more of a knock.
The second time I heard it was in my friends 8 in first gear after taking a turn into a straight away got up to 7k rpms but did not redline due to the sound.
At this time they where not premixing (no big deal). However the clicking sound you hear maynot be detonation but just the high rpm exhaust ports opening up around 6,250 rpms (according to zoom44). Did you hear this sound in the high rpms range?

Don't tell him to premix or not. Let him make up his own mind about it. I premix I think it's a good thing, PLENTY of people do not and have NO problems. It's really a personal thing whether or not you think you need the added protection to your seals. Has NOTHING to do with detonation at all though so it won't fix this sound, that's just how the K&N intake sounds, either sell it and get a new intake or deal.
