ecoboost_2011

I recently put an airaid intake on my 2011 ecoboost, after driving the truck for the first time after installing the intake, I noticed a popping/hiccup noise at low rpm. shove on the throttle and the noise stops, but keeping the truck around 1500 rpm, the noise is constant and annoying. anyone have this problem? and is there a solution? thanks.

I experience some slight popping and feel it through the gas pedal. I think it's the internal bov system and airflow making a pop. It usually only does it a couple times when the truck is cold. Haven't experienced any issues at all though. No loss of power and under a full throttle run it doesn't make a sound. All fittings are tight as can be too.

Did you remove your 2 twirly thingies?

Are you supposed to remove the "twirly thingies"? Mine make the same noise and it is driving me crazy. The noise is somehow caused by the intake as I have tried two different intakes and the both cause the popping noise.

I just recently added the airaid intake to my ecoboost and haven't had a problem...I can hear the turbos more now which is nice...u can really hear the intake sucking the air in...have not notice any sounds like ur saying...haven't heard anyone say anything like that. Haven't had a chance to notice power gains it's been rainy and snowed so ever time I punch it I spin. Nothin on mpg yet either...I was getting 18 to 19 before it.

I've put about 500 miles on the truck with the airaid cai installed and still haven't heard any popping noise and I've been paying close attention to hear anything different. Are u guys running stock exshaust? I still have a stock exshaust with mine looking for an aftermarket one tho. I've tried to get the truck to make the noise I've gas it then let up quick, coasted, uphill, down hill, pump the gas...no new noise except the turbos are louder but not a popping sound

it usually makes the noise when the truck shifts into high gear at low rpm. I put a bullydog tuner on my truck hoping it would solve it but made it worse.

I just put an injen cold air on my ecoboost and noticed a popping sound and also a humming noise. I was a little unsure of what would cause this because I also have a 6" lift on it so I wasn't sure what was causing all the noise so I took it to Ford to have someone ride with me to listen to the noise that we all aren't happy hearing. He explained to me the reason were hearing this after the intake is put on us because were hearing our gate valves open and shut on our turbos and the humming nose in when it's bypassing. The stock intake is made to muffle all that noise so unless your putting one on your ecoboost your not going to notice these popping noises. In most cases.
