short ram intake installed today, couple questions
Hi guys I just installed my short ram intake today (took me like an hour lol i thought it was only gonna take 5 minutes!) and i have a couple questions
i have a small pipe connection for the, correct me if im wrong, fuel injection system? theres two pipes one that connects to a notehr pipe and this one that im talking about is supposed to connect to a small black box ( i think). my small black box wasnt connected onto the original air filter thingy i had so i left it alone and just taped up the small pipe that was supposed to have the box, is this ok? if u dont kno wat im talking about, ill try to take pics later
also when i was driving aruond for the frist time with it on (remember short ram not cai, so i did hear it was supposed to be louder) i could hear from my engine area a VERY LOUD like LOUD noise, is this ok or is it being too loud/booming noise a bad thing?
thakns for hte help guys!
EDIT
also i watched some youtube videos, and it seems when the engine isnt revving, theres a hissing noise, but mine doesnt have that? did i do somethign wrong?

Sounds like you have an air leak. My intake only had one nipple on it and it's connected to the vacuum hose it lined up with. I don't mysterious black box, does your engine have VTEC?

Here is my makeshift intake it works fine has a nice grunt to it. The black box is a air resavoir it is useless. The first picture is of the thing connected to the black box that comes right off just ziptie it together if any one wanted to know. hope this helps a little

That sensor shouldn't be connected to the intake. I forget what it is, but leave it alone. Looks like that extra nipple is for VTEC engines only (94ex) and not for non-VTEC likes mine, yours and 5spd's. I would just find a rubber cap and put it on there.
As for hissing, mine makes a light whirring sound but it can't really be heard very well over the exhaust, fans, and my annoying clicking rockers. If you open the throttle from the engine bay (where all the cables go to in the first pic) you can rev it and listen for it.
