Celica Forums General Discussion General turning off the car and...

when i turn off my car the motor makes a wierd sound. its like a bunch of air leaving the cilinders or something, iono. when other people turn their cars off, they dont have the sound that i do. ive got injen CAI if that helps

Not entirely sure on this one, but I think thats normal

not sure wut kinda sound hearing...
but i think mine does wut you describes there too...i think it's normal.

yeah that's normal
i have injen cai and all the intake makes that noise
its just getting out excess air from the intake
don't worry about it

k, i thought it was normal too, kuz its not that wierd, but i just wanted to get other peoples thoughts about it too

thats the best sound in the world!!!!!!!!!!

I got the AEM and its sooooo loud. I luv IT!!!

HELL YEAH! thats one of the reasons why i got a AEM CAI! badass sound!

happens to me too

i have an injen short ram and it makes that noise too. its the air in the intake making that noise.

thats the noise of the "juice" thats givin extra HP to ur car.

that is definatly normal its all from the intake becuz you dont have the big black box restricting the noise

That is an AWESOME sound. Live it, LOVE it.

Rob

Yeah that the CAI

You guys know you are wrong right? It's actually the sound of your cars **sighing** because you have left them..and they have to wait awhile to come back alive...

Anywho, yeah, Intake + Celica = great sound.

Coolest sound ever! I love pulling right up next to some hotties and shutin my car off, it's all and stuff. Ha ha

Ha ha, Actually you're right!

its normal and quite nice

lol

^what they all said

yea gotta love that "pshhhh"

yea it is the intake. older bro had a riced out civic (i gave him hell about owning one) but that was problity the best part about his car. actually his subs were amazing.

I've got a 2003 Celica GTS and I just installed the Injen short ram intake in it. It sounds perfect when your driving, but mine doesn't make that sound when you turn the car off. The sound that sounds like the air leaving the intake. Pssssttttt... That's one of the main reasons I bought it. What can I do to get that Psssttt sound when you turn the car off? Please help me, I've been trying to fix it for a few hours now.

thats not air leaving the intake, its air entering the intake. The pressure in the intake while running is below atmosperic temp (unless your turbo'ed), and when you turn it off, air enters the intake to equalize with surrounding air. Small point, but if you want to know whats going on under your hood...

I bet it's the intake

DAMM, this thread is back from the dEAAAAAd

yea, my 01 makes the same noise when i turn off my gts. pssht, it's a cool noise, scary at first, because you don't know what it's supposed to sound like, but really cool when you know it's all good.

also notice the car when you shift, once you push the gas pedal you can hear a slight ppsssttt.. sound like what a turbo does, not as loud thou.. it tight!!!!

It is for sure supposed to make that Pssttt sound... I know it for a fact.. What I want to know is why mine doesn't do it!!! Sorry, just mad mine is right yet...

im not sure why its not making that noise coz its suppose to. maybe the engine is sucking air somewhere else. maybe you have an opening closer to the engine bay, if you do the engine is going to suck air through that opening instead of sucking it through the filter, i dunno, im just asumming, i could be wrong. please dont take my word for it, but its something that you should check.
