Noise in when I hit the gas pedal
Quick question: I have a manual 06 tC, and everytime I hit the gas pedel I hear a "pssssr" type sound. Anytime I hit the gas I hear the sound. It almost sounds like the "psssst" from a turbo, but obviously it's not since my car isn't turbocharged. I did a search and didn't find what I was looking for. Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks

gotta love that sound man, my friends were jealous b/c mine sounds at an intake while my car is idle and I just revved my engine plus my car is stock. One of my friends also said that my car sounded so noticeable (air sucking in sound) when i stepped on the gas.

Correct me if I am wrong, but this sound is normal for any N/A tC with a stock intake. The sound occurs due to the design of the factory intake duct. Scion actually meant for this to happen (or was just glad it happened) because it adds to the "sporting character" of the tC.

it is normal and to better explain, it's the sound of the throttle body opening up and the air rushing in.

My g/f:
Ever since you put that intake thing in that whistling sound is so much louder! I gave a girl a ride across campus today and she stuck her head out the window and said, "how old is your car? Is it supposed to sound like that?"
LoL
