3 or 4 weeks ago i ask why is my intake backfiring threw the intake. all peps said no.
then 1 other person said they hear theirs do it also. i was under the hood tues. and found that the cheap filter that came with the cold air had broke off(the heat craked the rubber and left me the top ring). so i got a new filter and looked at it, it is thicker than my old one. i been driving it now and i hear the air stop and starting like ever one said theirs did. no more backfire noise. i guess it had 2 do with the cheap filter being that it was so thin??

well with our cars watch out for the top mount bc if you tighting it it snaps mine did and my bottom of my cai fell off (it a mustang kinda funny) and then before i had the spw filter and it did the same thing well i got a new filter and its doing better.

mine done it for a long time never could find what was doin it. i dont think it hurts it becouse it was just a sound diff. between thick and thin filters

did fire come out of your intake?

Nah, I'm sure he just had pink and blue flames coming out of his exhaust.

pink flames out the exahaust is a must

True true. My car backfired like that a time or two when I had just the resonator box taken off but now with the Injen SRI I haven't heard a single pop.

Pink flames are Honda's specialty, and also breakaway front bumpers

this is what posted last week...it describes what sound they are talking about:




I have had my K&N FIPK II for about 3 mths now (lx coupe 5 spd manual)...it runs great. However, it has made a noise about three times since i got it...the noise sounds like a back fire almost pretty loud (in the engine bay).....the first time it happened i was driving hard, the sound happens only when i am off the gas pedal. the 2nd and 3rd time it happened i was just crusin...but in all 3 cases it happened when i let off the gas, to change gear (up shift).

has this happened to anyone else? what could be causing it, and should i be worried? i really aprreciate your guys input. thanx

My friend's car backfires all the time, but it's not because of the intake. He's got a stock 2001 Camaro SS, but I believe it backfires because the last time when he changed the oil was 15000-18000 miles ago. So, I don't think it's normal.

Dood.. it has to be normal.. like almost every one that has posted said their Intake backfires..
