Installed Cold Air Inductions CAI - strange sound? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

RolltideSS · 04-07-2013, 09:04 AM

Hey, first post - I just got the car a couple months ago. This forum has been a daily visit though and has really helped me get information on the mods that are available for my car. I just got my Cold Air Inductions intake installed and it looks great! definitely adds to the growl at the higher revs. I do have one question though - I noticed that after I installed the intake when i turn off the car I hear a sound - like air decompressing. Is this normal? It isn't loud, I can only hear it when the windows are down. It was pretty simple to install and I followed the instructions so I don't see what would be causing this sound. I appreciate all the help y'all have given me. Will post a pic once I get on a different browser.

I'd say its normal. Mine does it too.

So yeah, nothing to worry about. Every cold air intake I've had has done it.

Great - thanks, I didn't notice it on my last car but the car was so quite who knows what sounds it was making.

Attached a pic for anyone wanting to see.
