It's not gonna sound like a turbo, I can tell you that. But it does make a slight sucking/hissing sound right when you are changing gears and stepping on the gas a little.

My experience is that a CAI will hiss louder than any other intake I have. Hiss is twice as loud when the ac is on too.

Can't wait to tune my car up this winter vacation. How many miles did you have on your fuel filter? I think I have about 50,1xx miles on it. (Yes, I know, I need to change it bad) A nissan dealership I went to wanted 22 + tax for it. Now I don't know where to get one cheap=(

I have one that hisses when you hit the gas you hear a sucking sound

I think because the cone air intake i have has a cover around the main filter and draws in air from the top
supposed to suck in more colder air than a regualr intake

if interested i have some pics , just drop email

thanks

so did my jim wolf so i put the stock intake back on and i got my low end back and the top end still didnt change and i have no hissing. The only thing i dont like is that i dont get that growling noise after 3500 rpm. But i like it much better now.

i had the JWT pop for 6 months and it never made the hissing sound, but as soon as i put in the Franckencar mid-pipe. it hisses like crazy. i don't mind it. at first i thought i had installed it incorrectly, but now i see that everyone has this.
