Its Just a simota lol Is it meant to sound like that?

Id say its more noticeable on startup because the idle is higher when warming up.

My CAI makes a very noticeable low hissing sound when just idling, so id say its just a CAI thing your gonna have to get used to.

nah no reducer its just the silicone to join the pipe to the intake and the pipes together.... i checked out a reducer today so if i cant diy style the cai den im guna have to get a reducer or sumfin ,.... thanks
and yldcrd the cai always hisses well wen i had a lancer and an nxr they both did dw ull get use to it sounds kinda cool hahaha

actually yeh it was a reducer so i got silicone for the pod and the two pipes n some black lining to connect it into the intake manifold weird im guna put it together 2morrow c how i go wish me luck

No air goes any where when the engine stops spinning, especially out the filter:thumbsup:

get a silicone reducer 2.5-3 inch (or 2.75-3 if the piping is 2.75) and some 3inch offcut to connect it to the pod.
easy mate.

you can get a rubber reducer 2.5-3 which will stretch on a 2.75 pipe from supercheap for 10$

well i remember hearing the ssssttt sound wen i turned my car off it was short ram actually duno about the full cai.....
