Intake Question

I got the Berk intake installed, and when you drive in gears you can hear the growl, but when you got it in Park or Neutral, why don't i hear a growl when i rev up?

There is engine load while you are driving which creates a vacume. The "growl" is the sound of the engine sucking in more air against atmoshpereic pressure. When you rev freely while in neutral the engine is not creating enough vacume or air pressure to create that sound.

Thanks for buying my product. You likes??

Correct Brian, Many people wonder this. you only hear a slight growl at neutral, but nothing similar to while driving.

Try torque braking and/or revving in gear with parking and/or foot brakes fully engaged and you'll hear it
