I installed the intake in about a hour. It was pretty simple. It sounds real nice and loud....anyway afterwards at my friends house....I was in reverse...and in idle i hear this vibrating sound...kinda like metal on metal..and it was comin from the direct area of the heatsheild. I assume (also hoping) that the sound I am hearing is comin from there. I have the bolts on very tight...

The sound comes and goes and its only in reverse...its quite loud though..

Possibly the Heatsheild vibrating?? What do you guys think.

 

That kind of problem would be hard to diagnose without being there.. it could be many things..

 

you installed the RMR intake? dealerships should've been doing that. just take it back in if they did. Never had a problem with my intake yet.

 

can anyone trouble-shoot?how about more info on the install? This could prove valuable to me

 

My dealer got it but they were gonna charge me 90 bux to install it....YEAH RIGHT!!!!!!


It's a very simple install that comes with instructions and nice pictures...well the pictures are kinda annoying because there taking from a different perspective. But it took about a hour.

 

the pics were taken from the side of the car and not the front so it was kind of annoying matching up stuff...

 

all you havr to do is put the hood up, get on, and have your buddy drive in reverse! "get on where"you say?? I don't know!! unless it rattles with the brake on too

 

You can't really be serious can you? Sure, points for creativity but uhm...yeah...that's about it.

 

no, this method really works, I used it to time the twin turbos on my datsun 210

 

Hmm, as i get to work I test it and the sound is still there...i leave work...its gone??? I come home..its gone??? This is really wierd..i guess ill have to check tomorrow when i goto school.


100th Post! WooWhoo

 

Shifter linkage is right there, Maybe when you shift to reverse linkage hits something hanging down there. Pull off shield and check . THen put it back.
