It's not a huge difference honestly. The intake doesn't do a great job of keeping weather out of the bay regardless of whether you use the lid either. I'd save your cash if you already have the rest.
Did you install it correctly? Because mine doesn't rattle at all.
Mine rattles like all hell.
seconded here.
What part of the intake rattles?
I haven't purchased anything yet but was weighing the closed IE intake and the closed APR intake. I'm fine that no intake is going to add much power, I just want a little more excitement under the hood without sounding like I'm racing anyone/everyone.
The big metal piece that crosses the entire front of the car. It rattles against the rad I believe. I had some two sided tape there that held for a couple of months but now it came back. So I bought some thicker double sided foam insulation thing to try. It's upsetting considering how much I paid for it.
My smaller V1 did the same think, and i also just ran Home Depot insulation foam on the bottom edge of it
omg mine does the same too. I've put foam insulation at a few spots but haven't quite figured out exactly where it's rattling against.
It's annoying as fuck, especially with that satanic Powerflex insert.
If that fails you can just sprayfoam insulate all the way around the frame lol. I am almost there.
I think the main reason to get the lid is because it adds a mount to the driver side of the tray. Kinda weird oversight. Definitely makes it rattle less. Is that worth $300...?
