The day I uninstalled my k&n typhoon was a great day. Anything with long tube intake is the way to go, couldn't be happier after the switch.

 

***UPDATE*** - It has been several months now since I switched back to stock, I still continue to have the noise in colder weather. It seems to not exist when the weather is warmer (some interior plastic expanding and preventing the noise???).

I did take it to the dealer, they did various tests and hooked up some weird vibration detector to various parts of the engine. It was determined to not be engine knock. It is just a little annoying cabin noise when I accelerate beyond 4k rpm in weather under 70 degrees or so....2k rpm in temperature under 20.

it is honestly is enough of a pain to make me want to return the lease....

 

If it's a lease car I would bring that **** back. That's the whole point of it, right? Haha tell hem you want to get into something else if they can't find the issue.

 

i was hoping to keep it

 

Ditch the car A great car because of a rattle?!@. Or get an exhaust or turn the music up .

 

unfortunately it over powers all that ...the video doesn't do it justice. it is a high pitched annoying *** sound! the 2017 q50s are going to have TT 3.0L engines ...but i'll probably go Tesla after this.

 

It has to be a heat shield or something! Get under there and start banging around and see if you can replicate it

 

that last time someone told me to do that i went to jail....

:P

i'll give it a try....it sounds like it is coming from inside the cabin but i have not done anything with the interior minus some paddle shifters that are on there tight as ****!!!!

 

I have k&n intakes and no issues here.

It may be your cowl rattling against the windshield. Mine does that when the temps are cold out. There is a thread on here that shows how to fix that. Some j channel strip or something like that which can be found on eBay.

Good luck man!

 

That could be very probable... thanks!
