AEM CAI Hissssssssssssss

My hiss from my AEM CAI is getting rediculous. I love the roar and the extra power but whenever my car is on at idle i hear a hiss and forget about when my A/C is on it just gets out of hand. Is there any way to muffle the hissing noise aside from taking out the AEM CAI??

Wear earmuffs? Turn up the radio? Get one of those desk fountain things for the dash?

Come on man, I can't believe you don't like that noise. I love it!!!!!!!! Sorry, can't think of a remedy other than losing a few ponies and taking it off.

yeah im starting to get tired of mine too. i actually tried to convert mine into a short ram, in hopes of that quieting it at idle. bad idea. just made it 100x worse.

its a trade off, you get amazing sound at wot, but at idle you sound like your car needs a tune-up

Mine only hisses when it's cold. After about a mile of driving, you can't hear it at idle.

I don't know what you guys are complaining about. I love that sound! Aside from the power gain, the hissing sound was the other reason I did the upgrade!

I like the hiss too cuz it sounds like u have something in the engine. Whenever i turn the engine on or off people look and then ask what im running.

if you dont like that sound you have no business getting aftermarket parts.

everyone knows that aftermarket makes noise. nothing is quiter than stock. that why its called stock
