CAI Backfire
Hey,
I Have a friend with a 2002 Civic SI and an 04 Civic Coupe. The SI has a cold air intake and the Coupe has a short ram intake on them. For some reason if you get on the engine hard at different rpms you hear a loud backfire from the intake. Neither car has any other mods to the engine (no nitrous or anything like that). I have heard about this problem from different friends but was wondering if anyone knows why this is happening to two stock cars which only have upgraded air intakes, and also how to fix it?
Thanks!

That's weird I've never heard of an intake "backfiring." What does it sound like? Usually when you talk about backfiring, you're talking about exhaust.
