Default Short ram intake making some noise...

I just installed an Injen short ram on my 1999 Honda Accord V6 EX for the first time.

I hear a psssssssss..... When I rev the engin it gets higher. You here something like:

"psssssss"

at idle RPMs. When reving it sounds like....

"pssss PSSssss PPPSSSSssss"

Is that normal. How can you tell if there's a leak? I put my hand around all the connections and didn't really feel anything.

WOAH Turbo!!!! Lucky! jk jk

It should be normal. Well I mean it's a short ram. More than likely, just air being sucked in.

Check vacuum lines maybe and filter condition.... Should be fine IMO.... =P

The whole point of the big complicated stock intake is to be quiet. That is what you get with an aftermarket intake: SOUND.
