Default Steeda CAI Loud?

I just installed a new Steeda intake both the filter and elbow, are they normally loud? . My C&L intake I could hear but wasn't this loud, I drove it a bit not getting any codes, runs good, just seems extremely loud, can anyone else chime in?

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???

I double checked everything, nothing loose had my wife tap the throttle, and the noise is coming right from the end of the filter.

You can hear it, when you tap the throttle it makes a very loud woosh, directly from the end of the filter

Are you talking about the swoosh that comes from the throttle body opening?

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]

That's funny I was just showing the guyI bought the car from and he said the same things sounds just like the secondaries on my Holley opening up!
