Intercooler Question

[baby34]

Hey, i'm looking to upgrade my intercooler and just wondering if a big front mount intercooler will make my car flutter? i dont want my car to as it attracts too much attention..

i'm also only wanting about 200rwkw so i thought i'd just put the r34 SMIC in, will that make it flutter, or since its only a SMIC it wont?

some people are even saying intercoolers have nothing to do with flutter? but i know a few people without any bov's and their cars flutter..

Cheers

IMO I don't think SMIC and FMIC have anything to do with 'Flutter'.

Maybe something to do with the setup of their metal piping to make that noise.

But most of the time 'flutter' will come from a BOV or air pods...

That's right, noise can be more audible through a pod filter, bov, and running more boost. Even just by running more bost on my car with stock bov and filter can make that noise as well, although it's not that loud.

So boosting it with my apexi pod filter will get flutter???

How can ib oost and not get flutter T.T

I have 2 HKS air pods (running the standard GTR BOV, which won't make much noise), they make a "Sucking" noise when the turbos are spooling and a "Choo" noise after releasing the throttle.

No matter what, your APexi air pod will flutter on stock or running higher boost.

To eliminate the 'Flutter', box up your air pod, get a custom air box made up or you can buy one to shield your pod off.

Many ppl on here do it, BUT it will not eliminate it completely as you still have the pod on, but it might just lessen the 'Flutter' sound.

To eliminate it completely, reinstall the standard air box.

INstalled a pod and got the sucking sound and whooshes when dropping throttle.... if ur not getting those sounds try actually hooking up your pod...
