Just got it!

Just got the AEM CAI installed! Sound is awesome, performance is minimal but noticeable(I think the sound helps mentally). Just couple of questions for you guys. 1) I can hear the air getting sucked in there-it makes the car a little louder even at idle, is this normal? 2) when I turn the car off I hear a gasp, is that normal?...
Your help is appreciated...
Thanks.

Thanks wayneg, nice hearing this from a pro. Since I got ya on the line, is there any precautions I should take with this new intake other than the obvious(deep water, etc.)?

Ever hear of the phrase, "The last gasp"

Sorry, just kidding

Someone said it sounded like a silent and deadly fart -- true...

You can hear the vacuum noises too, as you work the steering back and forth at a stop (if it is queit out).
