CAI Installed

adamhoud · 03-19-2007, 02:02 AM

So I installed the Injen CAI today, after previously owning the fujita sri. I was expecting to be disappointed by the sound of the CAI, however I wasn't, it sounded almost as loud to me. I got to thinking though, I know when pipes are worn in, coated with oil and soot, they tend to quiet down some, much like exhaust pipes. I know these use oiled filters by default, and I wonder if that makes it quieter after some use. I remember after a month or so my SRI sounded much quieter, and I could have swore it wasn't just me getting used to it.

How does that work? Bare metal vs sooted/soft?

I'm not sure intakes get quiter over time, when I had my AEM CAI on my Teg it never became lower... I only got used to it.

Soot builds up in the exhaust over the first few weeks, dampening the sound and making it resonate less.
