K&N Intake BACKFIRE!!!

[DingDong02Si]

Please anyone help me to figure out why my K&N intake I just recently installed is back firing??? I think it's a valve problem but am not sure. Every few days out of nowhere when I press on the gas I hear a huge pope from my intake??!! Now I know this happens on exhausts but out of my intake??!!!! Please PM me if you can help thanks:o

This is fairly common with a sri. My Typhoon did it occasionally. Never caused any damage. Don't sweat it;) .

My super cool hybrid K&N/Ebay/Comptech SRI farted once after a hard acceleration run, it was right after I pressed in the clutch. I knew exactly what it was b/c I've read on here a bunch of times about it. Didn't really bug me, I kept driving ;)

this is very common so you shouldn't worry. Oddly enough my intake has never backfired once??:eek:

My observation has lead me to believe it only happens when I'm going from 1st to 2nd and I don't rev it high enough or I take too long to shift. Also this has happened when the car is cold.

I dunno, just my $0.02

Just wondering did any of you reset the ECU on your car? I am wondering if the ECU just needs to be rebooted to get the right A/F mix and timing for the car with the intake.

I've had my Typhoon for about 8 months now and its happened about 4 times to me. No big deal. I did reset the ECU when I installed it.

it's a change in air pressure, nothing mechanical.
