air intake

i just put on a cold air intake and it doesnt seem to be sucking all that much. no whistling noise or anything. my friends have air intakes on theres and you can feel those things sucking in air, especially when you turn it off but mine doesnt. if it doesnt do anything then o well, i can atleast say i have an air intake and it looks cool but i still want it to work

IS YOUR TRUCK A F.I.OR CARB'D? WHAT KINDA INTAKE DID YOU PUT ON?

its carb'd. i dont know really what kind it was, my friend gave it to me. its not some expensive brand like aem or anything. autozone brand i guess. i didnt really care what kind it was, it was free..lol

look at my post "GOT WEBER.....WANT COLD AIR"
that is what i'm going to run on my motor. there is
a pic of it in my photo gallery w/o the k&n filter.

well, i dont have a plastic hose but heres my setup. i took the orignal plastic piece off, the one thas like starts half way and runs into the grill. thats off and then i have a rubber hose type thing on the end of the stock intake and then that contacts to the aluminam intake that my riend gave me. all that part is round, but since i have that rubber part, it fits tight to the oval and then ofcourse i have another filter on the aluminam intake part

a down draft carb, especially with all the factory vacume lines will not be pulling a lot of air... not enough to wistle or anything like on a FI motor.

you sorta lost me, a pic would be nice, i'd like to see what your talkin 'bout.
but sorta like mullet said a stock carb or any small down draft carb won't give that deep throaty sound like a cold air setup on a civic or eclipse.
i know like on older chevys w/ the round air filter, you could flip the metal
top, and it would give you that "4-barrel roar", but this isn't good it lets trash past the filter.

dang..o well...it still looks cool and i can say i have intake. thanks for the info
