Hey guys.. I installed my intake about 2 weeks ago... lovin it, it sounds great, especially at WOT. I just got the ebay intake but probably will swap to a CAI when I feel the need/later on :D Anyways... I've been noticing this PFFFFFFFFFF sound when turning off my car. Most of the other guy's cars w/ intakes do it too, but are our cars abnormally louder? Thanks.........

It is the sound of the vaccum in you intake being released because the engine stopped sucking in air (cause the car is off).

The stock airbox is more restrictive, so there was less of an effect origionally, on top of the fact that the stock airbox was a trade off of performance for silence, for the casual driver.

In a nutshell, it's perfectally normal.

...And it sounds cool too ;)
