93 intake question

[norcalcam]

hey guys i have a dragon intake system from weaponR. i just notice that my car doesnt even sound like i even have an intake. when i rev it up or when im driving i dont hear it. i do have the 3vz-fe. any help or advice? thanks. heres my engine and how it looks.

I have a intake on my v6 camry too! For mine, if youre under the hood you can hear a suction sound and also if you get on the gas you can hear it roar so maybe yours too

[norcalcam]

ya i guess. but believe me, i always get on the gas lol. it just doesnt sound like the intake is even there. any more advise?

i just installed mine a few days ago too. i only start to hear it when it gets to 3k and 4k+ is when you really hear it.

as opposed to my tC, where you can hear it almost as soon as you romp on the gas.

ya i know. it kinda sucks. i want it to sounds like a V6 1MZ but...... its not even close. plus it would be better if we had a bigger variey to chose from

ahh that sucks. have you checked youtube, etc for other 3vz engine sris? my 1mz definitely screams a lot and has a good suction sound too

[norcalcam]

ya ive looked for videos of the 3VZ but i couldnt find any

[TheKevin]

i didnt even install the aluminum piping on mine. i just left the stock piping and threw the adapter plate and filter on there.

[norcalcam]

thats cool. do u have a video?

[TheKevin]

not yet. i'll try to make one after the weekend.

[chrisumopher]

ohh yea mines the 1mz too so thats probly why it roars

[norcalcam]
