have you cleaned the filter since you installed it...you may want to clean it like 30 days after initial install and then once every couple months...i noticed the same thing and after i cleaned the filter throttle response improved and the noise was back how it was the day i did the install...

Well ofcourse at WOT it's going to be loud. My car is very quiet when I don't get on it.

don't get on it, drive normal and it sounds just fine.
