Default CAI problem

i just got my Cold Air Intake in to AutoZone today and installed it, hooked everything up the way the instructions said and i mean comon, its basically common sense, but anyways i got in it and drove home and noticed that now the sound of my car is lower.. like, a big difference in pitch and i was wondering if this is normal or should i look for a problem here..

any help is appreciated, thanks guys

no its normal, intake not only lets your engine breath a little more, but it also makes an "aggresive" sound. so no worries

the sound is normal.

if you take your stock airbox and remove the resonator tubing, you get the same sound.

so basically you just put a better flowing filter and have no resonator.

so now you go BURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR down the road
