Dear ALL
I have been using SS Inductions GROWLER COLD AIR INDUCTION Part no. CAI031 on my Statesman WH V6.
Since the Growler kit is fitted there is a whistling/hissing noise when I accelerate. I had contacted SS Inductions and received a 1 liner email from Mr. Shane Podmore advising that the whistling noise is not normal.
Searched the forum and got the idea of checking the Purge Hose. Is there anything else that I should check.
I have cleaned the MAF and throttle body.
I am kindly requesting the forum members who are using the product to comment on the whistling/hissing noise if any while accelerating. In my case the intensity of the noise is an annoyance and the music system should be unreasonably load to supress the whistling noise.
Another drama when I went for a safety check/pink slip to renew the rego of my car.
The mechanic refused/failed the safety check since the CAI is fitted. I argued that it is not a backyard job and is sold by an Australian registered company. The mechanic was very adamant about the CAI and said that he can't pass the safety check due to the CAI. The mechanic also advised that there is a change in rules since last year and on the basis of that change he have every right to refuse a pink slip.
I was mad with his attitude and was very confused with the information that he provided.
Contacted SS Inductions and got the reply as under:
Hi Sam,
As far as we know and could find out, that is not true. We have even had the AAAA tell us that there has been no such change regarding cold air inductions.
I hope this helps.
Kind regards
Can anyone please advice who can confirm me this fact. I want to report the mechanic if he is wrong.
Thanks in advance.
