Curious about intake

[Accentracer23]

I was wondering. Anybody that has a short ram intake on their car. When you shut the car off, does it blow air back out the intake? Im just wondering, cause mine does, but, two friends of mine that have intakes on their cars and theirs dont do that. I was just curious about what that might be.

if youre talking about a choking/gurgling noise, then yes, i had it.

i mean, its not like its affecting my car or perfomance, it just seemed kinda weird to me that it blows air back out of it.

It normally does it because when the fuel tops and the engine shuts down, the air that is in the engine goes backward.

Carborated engines also do this. You can hear it when the air cleaner is off.

Yup its normal. Just a burp :??:

Yea my car does it too when I shut it off. Sounds like a loud burping noise.

Where did you purchase your short ram air intake from?

[Accentracer23]

I bought it from AutoZone.

You get the civic intake, made by spectre, at autozone, and then cut it down a few inches so it fits and looks like this:

when your done. Costs aboutn $80 total.

I mine off ebay for about $25 It was made for an accord but it hadda be cut to size also to fit.
