Uh, I don't hear mine. How could one possibly hear it over the pullies/belts, fans,clickings and all the other things going on all over the engine???
You can hear it, when you tap the throttle it makes a very loud woosh, directly from the end of the filter
+1 and you have to blip the pedal real fast to hear that anyway, so fast that the engine doesn't react.

Normally, all I hear is a slight , faint whistle that mimics the rpms of the engine as you accelerate, but not loud at all by any means, its faint. I also have the Steeda plastic inlet tube. BTW The same noise was heard when I was running the FRPP CAI w/ the stock inlet tube.

I love the sound theCAI makes. It reminds me of the old days when the secondaries would open on the 4 barrel carb!! Alot of us would take the top of the air cleaner lid off and flip it upside down just so we could here the wosh. [sm=itsok.gif]
Agreed I also love the woosh when I blip the throttle, and added growl while WOT.

Flipping the air cleaner lid is true classic, I remember the first time the my dad floored it after we flipped his, "what the hell did you kids do to my car", good times.

I can hear mine pretty well too, nothing to worry about....but usually the exhaust drowns out the CAI sound
