My intake is knocking against something. I don't have the tools nor the know how on how to fix the problem.

Can someone help me out?

Thanks

jokes mp5.

There's a 99% chance that it's the brake master cylinder (located just to the back and right of the back pipe).
Mine did the same thing after I installed it.
It's only a matter of some bracket mods, or loosening your ring clamps and repositioning. I'll bring some tools and even some brackets to the mini-meet on Thursday Sondra.

Check to see what's knocking the actual intake or the little piece of metal that needs to be tied to the one of the rubber whoses. That was Sondra's problem, it was just loose and hanging and it would know when she was idling. I knew as soon as she said that.

Yes the Ractive will hiss at an idle. Perfectly normal and perfectly cool!
