Getting a loud vibrating noise from new intake...help
I just put on an Apexi intake. The one with aluminum pipes. I hooked everything up and its making this loud *** vibrating noise when you rev it. The noise is coming from the rubber hose that goes around the pass side of the intake manifold and up underneath it. It is right above the airpump hose that goes to the rear of the motor. On the stock airbox I think it was the one on top all the way to the drivers side. At idle it has slight air blowing out...rev it and it whooshes air and makes the noise.
What the **** is this hose connected to that would make that kind of noise?
Help me.

Yeah it sounds like a ******* cow. I didn't get the restrictor thing.
According to the service manual its the air relief valve. WTF is a air relief valve?
What can I do to get rid of the noise?

I shoved a piece of rag in the hose and it quiets the noise alot. You still get a slight noise from the airpump though.
I'm going to try a breather from an older v8 or something

ack! I just ordered an Apexi intake on Monday and I will be installing it in the next few days. Did I make a mistake getting the Apexi? or would any aftermarket intake have this issue?

do you recommend using this intake with the stock hoses or can you use upgraded intake pipes like the polished m2's. does anybody make these other than them? what will one have to do to remove the airpump? are the metal pipes sticking off of the filters where the crv and bov tubing connects as if were going back into the stock airbox?
