I have the same problem with my 2006 LUX. I noticed it since I bought it and it can get annoying.
I was going to ask the question on Ozhonda but could not explain the noise in writing.
I'm glad it is semi normal PS- I aslo have a K&N panel filter too soo it makes absolute sense to me now.....
i used to have a K&n Panel filter , but im now running a Fujita CAI and the noise is still there.... doubt its the filter.
Apologies for digging up this ancient thread. I just started to have this noise after my most recent service, I asked them to check my stock air filter to see if it needed replacing; they advised me it did not.
Since then, from around 3.5k rpm onwards the car has a subtle CAI sound. Not going to lie, I quite like it but my question is, is it detrimental to the car in any way? I opened up the airbox and noticed the seal was a little out of shape but still covering the opening.
If it poses no risk to the car in the long term I wouldn't mind leaving it as there is no drone whilst cruising, only increased noise upon acceleration.
Thoughts?
It's not exactly 'critical' but have you notice any loss of economy/power for instance?
I haven't noticed any loss in power\fluel consumption. Just did a 300 km trip averaged about 7/L on the freeway which is a little better than I normally get.Quote:

As long as the filter seals with the upper half of the airbox, it is fine. If there is a gap, consider trying to repair the seal or squeezing it to at least seal with the top half.
Cheers mate, will doQuote:
