Proof is when its running, take and squeeze on the larger air return line on the bottom of the stock intake hose leading to an off-white cylindrical looking thing behind the passenger side valve cover, has a 3 lead plug. Noise should stop. Release. It starts. Just make sure thats either plugged into something, or you'll have to deal with the damn hum forever.
Actually the hum in the background is the idle air control valve. The magnetic post and the electromagnet are making that noise. If you turn the car off you should be able to listen to just that little slight hum for maybe a good 5 mins. A lot of that has to do with the fact people don't fully seat their airbox when they mess with the intake, and it gets really, really loud. Trust me, fixed mine and some other peoples. Just make sure its seated at the bottom on the 3 teeth.
OMFG what is that! The "noise" you can hear is a restriction in the air intake. All people are doing is confusing NOISE with POWER, the same way as idiots confuse SMOKE with POWER on a diesel car. Noise means restriction, you are hearing air going through something obstructing it. Messing with air intakes and filters does nothing apart from slow the car down. Learn about engines, gasflow & filtration - don't be conned by sales people. They lie to get your money & boy racers are an easy target!
yea... def gonna agree you prooob should at least be using high heat resistant materials.. u most likely gonna confuse the MAP sensor you have rather than increase power
PVC works, however, it can emit toxins in the plastic that you really shouldn't be breathing in. Ever smell the PVC in the cabin? That odor is from the extreme heat the PVC is enduring. I tried it on my car as well...and I admit, it worked great and was super easy/cheap to make! But the odor/chance of the fumes making me sick over time weren't worth it to me.
i have an obs. 97 as well. im going to make a ram air intake for. Yes it will be a true pressurized box. It will not work with an L hood sence im going to use the hood scoop. ill post the vid when i get dose working out all the breather lines
(Ricer: from the latin word Ricarius meaning to suck at everything you attempt)
A person who makes unecessary modifications to their most often import car (hence the term "rice") to make it (mostly make it look) faster. The most common modifications are (but not limited to):
- Huge exhaust that serves no purpose but to make the car louder
- Large spoiler on the back that looks like something Boeing made for the 747
@hundizzar I would just like to say you are an idiot. Yes a large amount of people do make these modifications on their cars just to make them look and sound better but a proper exhaust setup does let the engine breathe better and is worth the investment. A spoiler either large or small setup properly on a car also effects the performance of the car by pushing down on the car. But I know what you mean with the stickers... bleh
you have the right idea just not the right materials, yu van get some aluminum piping for cheap, i would rather buy that then kill my car by using pvc
When PVC gets Hot as it will underneath your hood it releases chlorine gas that is toxic to your engine. Look on Jegs.com they have heat resistant custom piping for under $100.
Thats kool and all but DO NOT use pvc you ABS, pvs isn't meant for anything hot you will cause the inside of it to melt and the vapors will go into you motor then well you get the pic..
Actually, the only thing he could possibly do wrong with this setup is to allow more particles into his filter... which will happen if you remove the snorkus (as he has).
where did you route your vacuum lines(if you have any). ive been looking at doing this to my 02 Tundra but i dont know what to do about my vacuum lines

@hellatyteman13 actually with all the sections the air is slowed down when at high rpms reducing performance. The smooth air intakes you'd buy from a retailer is one long tube with very few sections to avoid this.
That, sir, is called the intake resonance. He has eliminated the silencer so you can hear it. Alot of cars had this, but most now are engineered to lessen or eliminate it. I kinda like it, I drive a 97 obs and have eliminated the silencer as well, and it does it too.
hey buddy nice poop pipe its not hard to find stanless tubing to do an in take and its completely pointless unless u eliminate the airbox or have some typ of ram air to it i have made homemade intake systems that actually work its not hard and not expensive
You seem to be a noob... An liberty/Legacy can easily have same sound as an wrx. All subys use boxer engines, and also it's easy to swap for one from wrx.
why do these engines make that sort of "uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" noise with aftermarket intakes??? i have a 98' OBS and it makes the same noise...anyone know why? thanx
your car is about to blow....not cause of the intake but because of the knocking.....the intake will only speed up the process though....have a towtruck on speed dial.
No.... you actually have to adjust the valves, my d15 has 345 000 kms on it and sounds perfect, doesnt tick like that because I adjusted the valve lash.
This works until you take the scoob in the mud and water....trust me i know first hand my fender doesn't even have that much open and it still drinks like a sailor
