Default Should short ram intake whitsle?
I just installed a short ram intake in my car. I was wondering does anyone know if it should whistle or is it a problem that it does. I isn't very loud, but I just wanna make sure it is okay.

Thanks,
Rachel

If it sounds like a suction noise (vacuum cleanerish), then you're fine. But if it sounds like a leak, then it probably is. Might want to tighten everything.
