I was wondering if anyone had any similar issues with the AEM CAI. I've noticed under hard acceleration from 2nd or 3rd gear between 5-7k RPM some sort of vibration or rattling noise. It almost sounds like a car with a bad engine is struggling to accelerate. (best as I can describe it).


1st gear is fine I can accelerate all the way to 9k without hearing the sound.


I'm not 100% sure its being caused by the intake and I'm trying to make sure its not some panel or anything that's vibrating aggressively against the car.

 

Does it sound like cards is the spokes of a bicycle wheel, or marbles/screws shaken in a can?

 

I'll get my dealer to put on a new cold air intake filter.
Has anyone had success removing the chatter by doing this?

Thanks Charles!

It worked.
