Welcome to MF!

Did you make sure to re-use the rubber isolators from your stock intake?

If you did then take it back out and put her back in, be sure its not touching the strut tower or any other part of the chassis.

Check to make sure its not rubbing the ac line, or some line that runs real close to the intake just infront of the MAF, i know mine is close ~ 1in.
