Berk intake: unusual noises.
Has anyone else been having any problems with the noise from the berk intake? i just installed it and whenever i start the car...it has all these weird air noises, not like a steady suction from the intake...and its much worse when i turn the air on, it sounds terrible...after like 30 min. of driving it does get a little better, but it is always bad at an idle with the air on...any suggestions? also my mounting bracket wasnt working because it was pulling the maf away from the throttle body and i didnt want it to pull it all the way off, so i had to use zip-ties which are kind of ghetto...anyone know a better way to secure the intake? maybe the stillen bracket? thanks for the help...

FYI...the Injen CAI almost completed eliminated that whistling sound from being audible in the cabin.

Not being able to hear your car specifically, I cannot respond to the "inconsistency" of the sounds...sorry I can't really help there unless you can record it and post the audio file.
