strange cooler noise
hey guys, I was hoping I could get some help with this. I've had my '02 R/T for a couple months now, and a while ago I started playing with the intake, seeing what kind of stuff I can put in and all that.
So I sort of made my own half-*** of a custom intake thats kind of like a shortram/cai but not really. I can post pictures so you can see what I'm talking about.
ANYWAY, I took out the Filter box completely and mounted the filter and all that. But ever since then I've been hearing this strange noise that sounds like a busted O-ring or something, but I can't tell for the life of me where its coming from. I only hear it when the fan/cooler unit comes on automatically, but not when the a/c is on. It seems to be coming from below where the filter box was, in front of the battery and to the right of the throttle body. But like I said, I can only hear it when the engine is running and the cooling fan system is on, so it's too noisy to tell where it is coming from exactly.
Long story short, has anyone ever had this kind of thing? I'm not sure if it's a problem or anything, and it doesnt seem to effect performance, but it annoys the hell outa me! Anyone have any ideas?? I would appreciate the help
Thanks

RE: strange cooler noise
Naw it's just some generic high-flow filter thing I picked up from pep-boys. I wouldn't really call it a 'hissing' noise, but when I hear it, the image that pops into my head is like the noise you would hear if there was a hole in the hose on a vacuum or something???
