haha i know thats why i never noticed it as bad but all i wanted to do yesterday was cruise and hear that intake working, which i did. just the whistling was annoying haha. whoever says you dont notice a difference with just an intake hasnt gone from stock to a secret weapon. i love it!

when i installed my intake, the pictures from other ones ive seen were different, i had to like finagle <sweet word, it a little bit. like the MAF sensor hole wasnt on top like in the picture, n the valve for the vacuum tubing was pointing out instead of behind, so i had to use the stock vacuum tubing that was on the original intake. idk wat the deal was but i got it to work ha

thats interesting but it works fine i guess you could leave it be but if you still feel unsure you could call or email the company and ask them if they gave you the right product

In all seriousness, what year do you have? Are you sure that you ordered the right year?
