I just installed a short ram air intake in my car. I drove it around my friends block then i went back to his house and watched a movie. After that I drove back home, which is about a 45 minute drive. When I got home and turned my Engine off I notices a hallow metallic popping noise every few seconds or so, sometimes a shorter interval than that. It sounded like it was coming from the Exaust manifold, or that general area, any idea what it might be, or if I should be worried about it? I mean it sounds like it might be just cooling down, but it was loud and I never noticed it before.

 

Ram Air, like a '69 Pontiac GTO Ram Air IV? :chuckles:

Anyway, it sounds like you are describing some normal cooling noises.

 

You love tossing your knowledge of the classics, huh? :fawk:

 

That, and it bugs me when people call short tube intakes "Ram Air" when there is nothing ram air about them.

 

I just call it like it says. Would you be happy if i said: "half of my cold air intake, until i get my air bypass valve filter." ?

 

Nah, "short intake" would suffice.
