like for example when im cruising in any gear around 2-3k it just sounds like its hissing like the sound of turbo when it spools.. its annoying.. is that normal though? for it to constantly sound like that while just driving normal

ya it can be normal.. from past cars.. some intakes would make the noise some wouldnt.. im taking a wild guess here but im gonna say its by whatever the ones material is made of.. especially a foam based one will make that noise
