Default injen intake

i tried searching but i couldnt really get a specific answer to my questions...

for the injen intake on our sc's, did all of them make that whistle sound?

also are all of them the same? [no different versions?] cause some are labled short ram and some not, but essentially they are all CAI's yes?

thanks

I know that mine does. Almost sounds turbo-like.

I believe that the only version out there made by injen is the short ram version. As long as you leave the stock snorkel in the bumper it acts like a CAI. (funneling the air right to the filter)

the resonator box near the TB on the stock intake pluming should stop the sound..I had a Fiero GT that made the same sound with an intake..but it was extremely loud and intimidating to other people.

CAI = cold air intake

altough you qouted me w/o saying a word about a resonator. the resonators are those baged shaped [its like a paint ball magazine] under neath the intake piping. theres two, one right after the afm and then one right before the throtle body.

i thought the stock snorkle choked more air than it released

cel? as in acceleration? it woulnt give that much if any, it will just make your intake have a drone/sound

hes talking about if you have the injen intake, and you leave the snokle only, it will create a path way for the air/wind leading towards the intake cone. thus making it a CAI
