Thanks for reading my post. Any input welcome.
I have a bone stock 90 Civic si. When I bought it it came with a off brand cold air intake that didn't fit worth a crap. Since I also aquired the stock intake I installed it and everything was fine.
Now I live out of town with a long commute so I thought a few mpg improvement would be good and after playing around with the aftermarket intake and building a support bracket I got the intake to clear the battery.
I can tell it helped performance wise but my problem is a part throttle squeal. I know it's the intake and not a belt.
My question is has anyone run into a similar issue? Is it because it is a cheap copy that wasn't designed properly?
If I buy a K&N or other "name brand" will I have the same issue?
Thanks, Dana
