Question:

why is my cold air intake so quiet?

I installed a cold air intake in my 1991 Honda prelude 2.0si. It seems way to quiet, you can‘t hear it at all only when you very first step on the gas. How can I get it louder? What can I do?

Answer:

You should use the headlight designed for the bike. the lenses are different for bikes - and the hi/lo setting is different because they are installed much higher than auto head lights.
In theory yes,if your motorcycle uses a 12 vold system and you wire the light on right, alot of bike use 6 volt system and the light wont work.
You bought a cold air intake just to be loud? Oh God.
why would you install something without knowing how it works, of course its not going to be loud at low rpm because your intake isnt sucking in alot of air until youre in high RPMs with the throttle open. But why would you buy a CAI to be loud?
An intake isn't going to give you constant sound like an exhaust would. The only time you're really gonna hear it is during acceleration and when you're on the gas hard, otherwise it's gonna be quiet. You want to be loud go to AutoZone and buy one of their exhaust tips so you can be like the other 75% of Honda's running around with an irritating coffee can muffler. You could've easily gotten the same noise from your stock intake by removing it's resonator (silencer) without wasting $150 on an intake just for noise. I don't hate on modding Honda's, I just hate on doing it wrong.
