Just installed a K&n typhoon intake on my v6. I've never installed an intake on any of my cars before, but i did know they would be louder than stock. However, on idle my car seems to have this humming almost foghorn like sound.
From my understanding if there were any air leaks it would be more of a whistling sound rather than that of blowing over a empty glass bottle? I tried searching but i couldnt really find a video of a CAI on idle in a 6th gen to compare to. Its hard to tell if its just resonance from the tubes or perhaps the IAC, but the car isnt running or idling rough? Im kinda lost here because im still pretty new to working on cars. Don't really know if this is how the intake is supposed to normally sound or if something is sucking air in that i cant find/air filter is pressing up the bumper. any help is greatly appreciated.
