Just put on the Injen Intake - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Tyler Durdan · 06-13-2002, 11:49 AM

Title says it all....Got the injen intake in yesterday and slapped it on in about thirty minutes.  Gave it a little gas in the garage and was really not that impressed with the way it sounded.   Got on to a back road by my house and put the pedal down.  I've never heard an intake be that loud or deep in my life.  Literally, it's the best sounding intake I've heard.  It also helped to pull through the top part of the gear...hard all the way through 6100 revs rather than 5600.

s14vaxlr8 · 06-13-2002, 12:19 PM

is that with CAE, if not, you think that the short stack is loud, youll s yourself with the cae

nrcooled · 06-13-2002, 12:23 PM

The first time I heard the Injen intake was on civic killas 240 and  I was like "damn that's loud"  Its got a nice throaty sound and really surprised me how quickly he accelerated w/ just the intake and Jacob's electronics ignition box

*sykikchimp* · 06-13-2002, 12:26 PM

I've had both, and I thought the Short Ram was louder than the CAI.  The short ram used to drone on the Highway.  I don't notice it with the CAI.

I plan on doing the extension after I have my exhaust work and throttle body done (stage two of mods).  Definite buy for those considering intakes.... <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/cool.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

yah that was always a question of mine why does the intake sound different when revving and then when driving? it sounds 10x better when driving. one time i was driving my 86 mr2 to school i have a custom cone on there and this kid was like rev your engine! i did and he laughed and said his 91 cavalier sounds better. so i was like f-u the car is pretty slow but obviously definatley faster than a cav. (this is off topic) its pretty cool the intake valves open at 4900 and it almost sounds just like a turbo.

BEISSEN · 06-13-2002, 08:53 PM

I have noticed that witht he sri that when i get to a higher rpm that it gets a little quieter but i feel it pull harder with the cae.I don't car as much about sound as i do the performance but if i have sound and performance then it's all good.I just won't sound like those anoying hondas out there.

s13cruzer · 06-13-2002, 10:57 PM

guys , where are you hearing this sound from? does the intake itself make noise or does it add to the output of the exhaust??sorry if sounds stupid but never really knew that

s13rookie · 06-14-2002, 12:33 AM

i believe the sound produced is becaused the pipe is acting as a reverberating chamber, basically, the sound is echoing in the pipe.  IIRC, a mag, possibly SCC. had a article a year or 2 ago about how longer intake piping affected both volume and power.  i believe they found the longer piping to add more power, and more power, but i could be wrong

s13rookie · 06-14-2002, 12:35 AM

sorry, mistyped

" i believe the longer pipe added more volume, and more power"

okay, i think thats what i meant

the sound comes from the pipe itself. big Intakes are always Loud. Kinda of a whooshing sound.. very cool.

Every listen to a V8 with 4 barrel carbs.. Those things are LOUD.. much of the sound you'll hear is comming from the intake on those too.

One of my friends just put a CAI on his RSX-S and that thing sounds like a Race car when he hits Vtec.

Yeah...when I was 13, I helped a neighbor / buddy restore a 66 nova.

Balboa · 06-14-2002, 02:34 PM

Does anyone know if it is louder than the pop-style intakes? I have one on both my S13 and my Maxima, and I'd say they were pretty loud. The one on my S13 has an open-end filter, which gives it a sorta dual-tone. It sound surprisingly similar to my friend's Lotus Esprit <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='
