so i know ive posted about my pss noise in a couple posts, but i forgot to mention my friend helped me install my AEM intake, and he took off the throttle body and put it back on, but he used a hand wrench and may not have tightened it all the way. Could this be making a "psss" noise when I accelerate? or is the noise caused by air flow being pulled in, or another loose part? thanks.

 

Its probably just the sound of the intake filter. Have you had an intake on any other car in the past?

 

nope this is my first.. also my filter might be dirty, and i'm thinking about buying a dry flow filter from AEM

do you think this is a good one, or should i just clean the one i have?

 

Yea... that noise you hear is the sound of the filter sucking in air. Normal.

As for the filter, just get a new one. You bought the intake used, just get a new filter.

 

okay.. i just feel like it's a buzz kill since i paid 170$ shipped and now have to pay 51$+shipping for a new filter.. i gues i should have bought a new one for 260

 

yea... or you should have just got a z-tube/pop charger for about $200.

 

true dat, but i like the look of this intake haha.. i think im going to buy the filter at a shop 20 miles away.. i just have to call them to see if they have it
