Just installed the Comptech airbox this weekend.. and noticed that at VTEC, there is a very loud buzzing sound that comes from the the passanger side. It sounds like it is rubbing against something and causing it to vibrate but I can't identify what it is.
I searched the site and found other buzzing issues but most seem to be either at decel or they just turn the volume up on their radio..


Is there a fix for this? One of the locals said it had to do with the AC line or something, but I don't have an AC line near the box..(or at least I don't think there is one).


Any help would be great..I'd like to get this addressed before the Dragon next weekend... all that buzzing will drive me nuts...

 

perhaps its the lid thats rubbing against the metal on the side.

 

Checked this morning..it doesn't look like it's bumping up against anything...after I removed the Cusco strut, the box just dropped in..

 

Motoo I can fix this for you. I still have this problem and have just been lazy about fixing it. There is an AC hose that rattles and you feel it in the car. I should have mentioned it on Saturday.

 

Ray did mention it to me last weekend but I couldn't find the line that he was talking about....is this an easy fix? Where is the AC line that I need to wrap or cover so it doesn't buzz..

Thanks for your help as always.. (I knew feeding you Guiness last weekend was a good thing.. )

 

Its under the box.

 

check where the hood prop goes. mine was rubbing ever sooo slightly there. I ground the cover and I'm all good.

 

was told yesterday that there is a bracket that i can use a rubber mallet to bend so it doens't hit the box...

i'm not sure i quite get what exactly they are talking about..i don't remember a bracket, let alone a line being that close to it..

 

i don't have a hood prop since i went to the teins


(i thought about that too actually

 

I meant the tab on the chassis where the hood prop went. If the clearance is real tight it'll rub when mashing on the throttle.
