Injen CAI- Vibrating noise when gas pedal is pushed....

[TurkishPrince]

I am not sur eif anyone else is having this problem......For some reason, my Injen CAI i guess is tapping onto either my wheel cover, or something else. I can hear it everytime i first push the gas pedal after a stop, its really annoying........ANY help would be great from my fellow SCIONeers!

I hope somebody gives me some advice on the problem, and what i can do......

yeah thats why when you buy it it comes with this little rubber thing you have to put on the the inner fender part. i just used a piece of foam/sponge and that worked for me.

right where the kids hands are is where its tapping, so put foam under it.

I know that, and i even went further than that cheap crap rubber strip they give you, and put in one of the strong black rubber threaded hose thing around it, and put in a super glue to keep it there, thats not where the tapping is coming from, that used to be the problem, but i fixed that. To me it sounds like the sound is coming from where the filter is located.........

then i dont know what else it could be. open you hood and tell someone to rev your can and look to see where it taps.

I guess thats my only option......But for watever reason, the car cannot be in park , it has to be moving forward or reverse, so itll be a lil dificult but not impossible. Thanks, i wonder if anyone else is having the same problem. I mean most CAI tap or make some sort of noise regardless.

most poeple get a ticking noise when they put on a CAI, the tap some ppl get can be removed by doing the rubber or foam thing i mentioned.

Yea i agree, thats how i got rid of mine. But now im pretty sure the Filter is moving and hitting my wheel cover some how, because thats wht it sounds like.

I used to get a vibrating sound too from the piece of plastic that's by the radiator I've since put weather stripping there and have yet to hear it since.

go to www.doctorisotope.com. He sell a panel that makes the CAI fit snugly and keeps it from rattling. He's also a member of the site!

Sounds like you already know your next step - gotta pull back that fender again and check your lower vibra mount and filter positioning. Good luck to you.
