That's the noise of air being sucked in through the intake
Still disconnect your negative from the battery overnight.
You got more air going into your engine now and ECU will take a while to adjust. But if you reset it it'll be much quicker. And your engine will perform better.
^^ i didnt take my negative off, and its been a few weeks prior to the installation of my cai now, its adjusted by now though yeah?Originally Posted by JOKER

I heard you can disconnect the negative and hold down the brake for 30 seconds to reset the ECU. does this work?
Here are some pics of my AEM intake installation
There was a rubber grommet type thing on this metal piece that extends into the filter, i wasnt sure if it was necessary but i left it on. anyone know if it is supposed to be used? it was hard to fit the filter on.
and here is a piece of the stock airbox that i didn't remove (the little black piece with the hole in it the top) because i didnt take off the wheel or remove the bumper and it has screws. is it alright if it stays there? does it bother anything?

Should be. But I would do a 12 hour reset anyway.
I tried that brake pedal thing. It did not work for me.
12 is a sure way to do it.
okay.. is there any way to clean these filters or do i have to buy a new one 
... where can i get a heatshield for this ? do i have to make one?

^^ if you can't clean it, should i buy just a replacement universal filter or a popcharger or something that would fit on it?

^^^ or just use a K&N recharger kit or if you have a JWT you can use the expensive blue oil...but the K&N red oil is the same thing
i think im going to buy an AEM dry flow filter since it doesn't need to be oiled, and that's good news for me

^I got the same intake, but in red. It's a dry filter, so no need to oil it after cleaning. I use some of that K&N filter spray however to clean mine; it's cheaper than buying the $50 replacement dry filter!
Cleaning it:
First shake all the loose dirt out of the filter, spray on the filter cleaner, and let it soak for a few minutes, then wash the filter out with luke warm water. You're filter is gonna be really soaked afterwards (no soap!), so you could use a blow dryer on "cool" setting to help dry it out. It took me about an hour of blowing (no jokes guys hahah) to get it to dry.
I still let it sit by itself for another hour outside on shelf to be safe.
Anyone feel free to add or correct me if I'm wrong.
