Default Vibrations

The other day I was showing my car to a group of curious neighbors. The engine was running and when I opened the hood the airbox had a wicked and visable vibration. Has anyone else noticed this and for those who have installed CAI do they show any visible signs of vibration.

Thanks

G

I have the Injen Short Ram and never had a problem like that. what cai do you have installed? If it is the aem from the dealer they could have not installed correctly. Take it back and have them take a look at it.

He's talking about engine vibration. All these little motors have that, and unless you have solid motor mounts yours vibrates too.

No aftermarket mounts or inserts are available right now.

sometimes the a smallest thing can be hanging off from an install and make a vibration. you should look around the engine bay to see if can see anything loose and you might find that object that is causing it.
