i did the "UAM" from HighFive on ADV,
just got back from a 1500 mile trip and there were plenty of annoying intake noises!

just wondering if anyone else has noticed that, under WFO and decel it's fine, but a steady part throttle 65-75 (real, not indicated) there is a noticable metallic noise from the intake that gets old after a few days!

if so, has anyone done anything to quiet it up a bit?

tia,

Go back to stock if you don't like the noise. Or use ear plugs and turn up the IPOD.

Going back to stock isn't really an option after that mod. I did the same thing. There is additional intake noise but it doesn't really bother me. It growls for a split second when I crack the throttle but since I've added the gytr pipe I don't really hear the intake anymore.

On the highway I generally wear noise isolating ear buds, so don't here it there either. To those "that's not safe folks", I can still hear the tire noise from cars beside me so I know I'll hear horns and locked brakes.

*edit* corrected spelling of hear... it's too early in the morning.

I had lots of extra noise, I just put some sound deadening foam on all of the flat surfaces inside of the air box. Worked a treat.
Think it was 12mm foam thumb

I run a powercore4. My air box is completely gutted of inards...and would be easy to put back to stock...anywho.
I can only hear the intake at a sweet spot, before wot, over the muffler.
I feel it was noisier stock, with the door off the box...but just guessing.
With a quieter muffler you may notice more.
Heck, my skidplate added more, obscene, noises than anything else.

Regarding the noise coming back from the skid plate, I measured dB before and after the skid plate got dynamat'd and it was about 10dB.

My tool used to measure was a SUPER SCIENTIFIC DECIMETER found in my iPhone app. So take it as my 2 cents..

old thread, but in case anyone ever reads it...

i ziptied a bike inner tube around the frame before putting the skid plate on, gets rid of all noise.
