New Noises After Injen Intake Intstall

[jonnyp777]

I have an 91 Auto 2.0L N/T Laser , and just installed an Injen Intake kit on it today. Now, i'm hearing all these new noises...

When the car is running, around 1500rpms, I hear this clicking/buzzing noice what seems to be coming from somewhere around the exhaust manifold, but not sure.

Another one, that is really noticable, is a sorta wooshing, almost grindy noise from around the intake manifold (it seems) when i turn the car off. Is this just becasue I'm sucking more air in now, making it sound like that when the car shuts off compared to the stock set up?

I just don't know. This was way harder to put in that a civic intake, way more clearance issues. I feel I got the couplers fitted good and tight. The car seems to run fine while I'm driving. Kinda seems to bog, for now, maybe from the exposed filter, but I'll see how that goes. will probably build some walls around it soon. and my car already had an idle issue i can't figure out any so....

Just hoping to find some advice. esspecially for the noise when it's shutting off. i'm just hoping that it's normal, cause it seems like it might be. thanks in advance.

The whoosing sound is normal because you got more airflow now. The buzzing/clicking sound could be the intake rubbing on something or it could be your manifold heat shield if theres one on there. Hope that helps!

Thanks, I didn't think the woooosh was anything bad, but I thought I'd just make sure. However, when the motor is running or accelerated, this intake seems quieter than one I used to have on my old civic. Could this be do to the silencer at the end of the MAF? If I like that intake sound, would it worth taking it off? Would it screw up smog results when the time comes having that off? No real perforance gain from that is there?
