vp v8 air sucking noise

[ndru74]

my vp bt1 has a air sucking noise from the front at low speeds. asked previous owner he states always been there.

They all do it, you just can't hear it at speed above the other sounds. it's a big engine and it sucks alot of air. It's much louder with a CAI

[Morton]

Does it have a pod filter?

[Vt-Brrrlina]

mines the same - hard to hear if the sucking noise is from the front or the passenger seat - hehe luv ya hunny

[levymetal]

...passenger side (well thats were it sounds like its coming from) we can hear a air sucking noise...

girlfriend??????

but seriously, is this the noise you're talking about? my car does it too, although it sounds more 'metallic' to me rather than a sucking noise. hard to determine what exactly it is, but now i know.

[PaRaDoX]

it happens when you run a pod or metal intake the noise reflects too much, its a normal noise

[wildss]

the sucking noise is normal, and its even better just after you switch the car off

[greenfoam]

lol yeah they give a last gasp, brbrbrbrcsshHHHHHHHIIIIOP.........

[wildss]

lol god description foamy.

mines xtra loud too, i got the cai, k&n and the big ass pipe under the airbox

[greenfoam]

Yeah thats how mine is too, both the widened factory cai and a pipe to the front bar. oddly it works best with both

[levymetal]

how come you guys run 2 intakes to the airbox? did you cut into the metal underneath the airbox, or just run it down the side? i've already got the cai, but if it appears to be worth it, i'll chop into the airbox and add a pipe down to the bumper.

I think greenfoam is imagining things If he were to just run a good front bumper CAI, I don't think it would equate to any difference in track times

I will say though, I think a front bumper CAI is more effective than an ORT CAI.

Every PB I've ran was with both, ran a couple meetings with just the one to the front bar, failure to set a PB, we are only talking a few hundreths of a second but it's a gain non the less so I went back to both. But there was a big gain adding the front bumper one over just the opened up factory one
