My airflow from my motor sounds really loud.. has always been that way.

3.0 90 4runner.

whats the best way to lower engine noise??

even when i rev it i can hear the engine better then my 2.5 flowmaster untill i actually get above 2000 rpms.

so whats the best mods to lower engine noise and best way to make it so its quiter.

and new plugs gets rid of that ticking noise when ur driving i heard.

 

Turn up the radio....

Dont be a "nancy" with noise....this isnt a new truck so its not gonna be quiet...


Its like people getting a mud terrain tire and giving it 2 stars because its loud.

 

well if your hearing a whirring noise it might be your clutch fan not disengaging...just my .02

 

underhood heat mat. it covers the underside of the hood. it deadens the noise quite a bit. im gonna buy one soon just to cut down on my hood heat. other than that, its an old truck, its gonna make noise. want something quiet get a new car. sorry to be so blunt. im not trying to sound like an a-hole.

 

put oil in it

 

Already mentioned. It's an old car. Enjoy the sound of it. To me it's enjoyable!

 

lol yeah i understand its old im just seeing if theres any ideas..

i have 10:30 oil in it and i have a the heater mat on the top of my hood

it just sounds louder then any of my buddys who has a 3.0

lol thanks for the help??

haha and i like it sometimes lol because who doesnt love there toyota??

 

Well if you did the ISR mod then......

 

Depends on the source of the noise.

 

turn key to "off " position

 

Rofl.

That or the Lock position.

 

problem solved!

there's the answer to the OP's question

mods, close the thread

 

Toyota motors always had more engine noise than others its in their nature. Put thicker oil in it go up to 10w40 and it will quite some not much.... as for the air flow well thats also very common in old japanese trucks the 22r has this alot more than the 3.0. Just be thankful its nothing serious.

 

Buy a NEW Toyota, problem solved. I love the straight pipe on my 3.0L.

 

I'd just drive it for a few hundred miles without stopping. After a while, you'll notice the engine noise drops quite a bit. Then, lace up you boots and grab your jerry can.

 

get some dynamat (or similar material) and cover the firewall... its unbelievable the amount of noise that comes thru that thing...

 

haha it doesnt bother me that much lol but yea after driving a while the engine noise isnt as loud

i can deal withit next oil change ill go 10:40 and see how much it helps

and im doing new sparks to try to get rid of that stupid ticking + premium fuel.

and i just turn up the music put a dip in and listen to my exhaust.

And i love the straight pipe to it sounds more clean to me.

im straight piping it next weekend gotta buy flangers and piping for easy removal.

and I had a 22re and a 22r before in my trucks before this one and it wasnt that loud actually.

but also both were all stock with original everything ha

Thanks everybody and Yes it sounds so much better turned off but i just cant end up pulling the key out i love drivin it. sorry =/
