I am with you with that! Overall, it riding great. I got it with a few minor things needing replacement -- paranoia at this point for me too.

so what, do you want it to fly?:thumbup:

Heck yea--ah!

Hi all,

I have had this same noise for about a month now, read this thread and just looked at the elbow intake tube and sure enough its cracked. I am going to order one now.

Is this something i have to order OEM or this is something i can pick up in my local auto shop? Can anyone provide a link for the part?

Also does the crack affect my gas milage? its been getting worst in the last week.

Thanks

anyone?

do 4.4 have that?

Nik is your whistling too?

Nope, was just wondering if 4.4s have elbow tube also.

not sure but i assume so.

Yes, I just had this problem fixed. You will need the elbow intake tube $13.00 and see this link:

This part you will probably need also as you bimmer is probably running rough. When the tube goes bad, it affects your GAS mileage -- to getting almost nothing to the gallon. This part will ease the idling -- will run much, much smoother.
