TRD Air Intake Popping Noise
 

So I intalled the TRD air intake at home a couple days ago to save some money. Last night I started it up and there were two hollow popping noises. You can't hear it from inside the car I had a buddy on the outside. It sounds like the same sound that you would get if you hit your palm on one end of a tube. All my connections seem tight. Any idea what this is?

Did it make this noise before the TRD install and other than this does it run fine? I find these motors sometimes make a couple of odd noises upon cold startup but don't think it's anything to worry about. I also installed my TRD intake and doubt you did anything wrong - if I can do it it's not rocket science. I assume you did disconnect the battery and reconnect upon install (ECU needs to re-set and adjust to the new intake). Installing the relocated MAF is easy but it took me a few minutes to figure out how to properly secure the wiring to it.


I love my TRD intake, smoother idle and more responsive. Also got rid of that stupid sound tube and cleaned up the engine bay.

It didn't make this noise before but other than that it runs completely fine. Yeah I disconnected the battery and installed the MAF correctly. Thanks for your input!
