Noise after installing a BBK CAI

cobrasvtcoupe25 · Sep 1, 2007

I just installed a 99-01 BBK CAI on my cobra and when I take off in first something is raddling in the front engine bay. I have BBK CAI installed correctly. The only thing I can think of is maybe the metal clamp holding the filter is rubing up on some other metal under the fender wall. The raddle happens when I lunch the car or taking off in first.

Please tell me what you think and what I should do.

Thanks

Did you notice the rattling right after the intake install? If there is a heat shield for the CAI it could be rattling.

Yes it made the noise after install.

Will check heat shield again.

more than likely it is the heat shield, i currently have the same problem but i lost one of the retaining bolts

I decided to return the BBK Intake back to Brothers because I believe during hard lanches and take offs in 1st the intake was hitting the side of my engine bay. I'm planning on buying a C & L intake system or maybe evena JTL CAI.

Usually they rub on the shock tower. I have had this on many of my stangs, but I could never hear it.....I could just see warn paint.

Your exactly right. what do you think about a 99-01 C & L intake system? You think it will rub like the BBK?

Get the JLT but get the "ram air" kit not the other one...the whole system puts the filter damn near the floor and will likely suck up water during heavy rain, get the ram ir kit and it comes with a heat shield, i have a C&L and the aluminum pipe gets BLAZING hot under the hood so stay with the ABS JLT.

Great information. I was wondering how hot the C & L gets. Thanks.

I am not sure, but the C and L kit looks just like BBK I think. You could ding in the BBK pipe in that area. You shouldn't be able to see that either because of the angle it is on.

I'm pretty sure it was the first part of the BBK CAI intake that was hitting the shock tower. The part that comes out of the throttle body.

I think I'm going to go with a JTL short ram. What do you think?

The JLTs are a nice piece, plus the material is a plus

Give me the heat shield off of your BBk Keyword:Give

Sorry bro I already returned it.

The Jlt should be a little bit better. I think they are straighter.

cobrasvtcoupe25 · Sep 14, 2007

My JLT Ram Air should be at my house in a couple of days. I'll let you know how it goes. Stay tuned

Installed my JLT ram air intake on my cobra today. Way better than the BBK. So much more air coming in I think I might have to get a throttle body 65mm in the future..?
