intake leak!!

wow thats a first,..check and secure all clamps.
Air leak on the intake does pretty much nothing to your car, you can even run your car without the filter. Just make sure you cover with some breathable cloth on the intake pipe.

If you are talking about the little whistling noise your car makes while accelarating, if you have an aftermarket intake it is normal. Almost everyboyd's does it. Enjoy it

i was told to spray choke cleaner around the intake and if the idle jumps it's the intake gasket. but it's new.
