    K&N Apollo CAI wierd noise

    Hey everyone

    Hoping someone can help me out...

    ive recently installed a k&n apollo cai on my ah astra. it awesome appart from one thing. it makes a wierd noise when passing through 2500rpm to 3000rpm. it sounds like theres a hole in the exhaust or somthing like that. its not vibrating on anything as far as im aware as ive got it cable tied in pretty good and also got some soft velcro to take the shock out of the vibrations if there are any.

    Does anyone elses do this? have i done something wrong in the install?

    Thanks guys

    is it like a high-pitched vibration noise? if it is, Ive got that too sometimes at certain throttle amounts etc and have no idea what it is Click here to enlarge.

    Most likely vibration - even if cable ties feel tight they still have some movement...

    OR

    your engine breaking.

    Post up a pic of your install.

    "Forced induction" sounds like some sort of sexual assault.
