Just got Pop CHarger/Z Tube IN...small problem

.....and I love it, it's amazing how much more confident and mean the engine sounds at higher rpms now. My only problem/question is when I get on it and it is shifting (5at model) at high rpms, between shifts i hear a quick rattle/shake. Anybody know where I should look to fix this?? Thanks!

I just installed the popcharger too..i think the sound you're reffering to is normal...mine does the same thing....

edit: Just doublecheck all the connections...make sure the bracket that came with the kit..is nice and tite.

Waiting for the same stuff to be shipped to me. You did the install yourself? Should be pretty straightforward?

it's probably rubbing on the a/c tube. put something like a cushion in between the z-tube and the a/c line so that you don't rub a hole into it.

It's great man, get a buddy and it will take an hour or so if you do it right. I'd say the most annoying part was actually putting the rubber seals on the heat shield.

i found the trick to putting on the rubber seal is to work it onto the air scoop, then take it off and put it on the heat shield...makes it softer to work into it. Cover the A/C line with a sliced thick rubber tube and anchor it down with a zip tie.. i also added a rubber washer at the mounting bracket to the car so it can dampen some movement from the intake. just me .02 cents
