aem cai hissing sound?
hey i just installed my aem cai a couple days ago and i noticed it is making this weird hissing sound everytime i step on the gas or when i start/kill my engine. when i kill my engine it makes a loooong *** hiss. i never noticed this with any of my friends' cai's an was wondering if this was normal or not. thanks

It's totally normal. Even the STOCK one does it.... albeit much quieter, but if you listen when you shut it off, the stock one makes the whoosh noise. It's just the stopping of airflow up the intake track.

every intake does that, it's forced induction. The hissing you hear is the engine pulling air in when you step on the gas.[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG][hr]
