Ramair /induction noise ?

TOMCAT said:

Now that a few Owners are running the Ramair just wondering if the induction noise (chirping) is like the underclaw K&N filters. Anyone actually swapped from the K&N set-up to Ramair .. what do you reckon ?

I just fitted mine last week and the noise from the intake seems quite loud (I hear it over my exhaust). I'm going to try it out for a couple weeks and if it gets to be too much, it will be coming off. In the video, at the 20 second mark it is most prevalent. I am curious if these are the same sounds everyone else is hearing?

I was going to try an Ozclaw with sound deadening in it to minimise the noise but the don't fit over the Ramair. The stock claw pushes against the back end of the Ramair.

Still fits and works - I'm running an OZCLAW over the RAMAIR with no problems at all. She'll be rite.

A bit hard to tell with the wind noise. I'd say it sounds the same as mine, louder than the CES pipe but only when the throttle bodies are wide open. I quite like the induction noise, certainly not annoying. I was going to try an Ozclaw with sound deadening in it to minimise the noise but the don't fit over the Ramair.

Instead of sound deadening lining, why not try a rubber strip to seal along the gap between the tank and top edge. Might block it enough.

With sound deadening? To get one over the Ramair on mine I would have had to crush the wire cage inside the filter and I didn't want to do that.

One other thing you guys might try...over here you can buy a rubberize paint in a rattle can that folks use as bed liner in their trucks. While it's not a sound deadening material, it does damp noise down quite a bit...and cheap. I use it when I rejuvenate old Chevy trucks on the floor pan and fire wall to reduce road noise

There's 2 types of sound increase you get with triples. One is a bit of a roar, which some people might call music, and the other is known as crickets. It's a sort of annoying, squeaking sound that if you're lucky you can over look but it's hardly pleasant. I didn't really let it get to me but for a lot of people it's annoying to the point of being unbearable. Now that I've got rid of the crickets there's no way I'd tolerate them again. The roar on the other hand that I get from my intake is fantastic.
