Whoosing noise from Intake

Hey guys, I tried searching and didn't find anything.

I have an AEM CAI, when I turn the car off, there's a whoosing sound from my intake, just wondering if that's normal for it?

I've had a few friends ask me about it and they've said they don't think it's supposed to make that noise. I haven't heard it from any other cars in person but I have heard it in a video on youtube with a TL. I'd find the video but my work computer is useless.

Totally normal.
My P2R intake makes a crazy noise everytime I shut off the car. I don't mind it and think its pretty cool actually.

Once you've removed the stock resonator and intake box there is nothing to muffle/choke that noise. This is a reason people prefer the ct icebox intake when going aftermarket. It increases intake flow while keeping things quiet and looking stock.

Thank you

My friends always tell me it's not normal and I installed it wrong. Then again my friends think they know everything about cars even though they never actually work on them.

Commonly known as the AEM fart.

My stock air intake makes a quieter whooshing noise as well, you can only hear it if you turn the engine off with the driver side window open though.
