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.

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
