Now with all of that said, I kind of miss that loud yell at the end so I think I'm going to put my cold air extension back on!

My SRI still makes the hissing sound at high RPM, and its loud. I dont know why yours wouldnt.

Hmm, I think we are talking about two different sounds. I still get a hissing noise before Mivec kicks, then it goes away and is replaced with a deep sucking sound, (<-- that almost sounds naughty) and then it starts hissing again right before redline. The sound that I am talking about is the one that happens only when I have my CA extention on. Right around 6,000 RPM's it almost sounds like the secondaries opening up on a 4-barrel, old school, V-8 engine times 5. It is just an extremely loud sucking noise that I get with the CAI but not the SRI right before redline. It's enough of a noise to make people turn and wonder what the heck that was. Is this the sound that we are discussing in the thread or am I the only one that gets that noise? If I'm the only one that gets this noise then I will put my CAI back on this weekend and take a video of it so that everyone can hear it.

I have a Helix intake that I recently installed. I had the very same question.

However with mine the whooshing sound starts even in slow revs. I don't hear it is much in the higher revs because I think that the sound is covered up by engine and airflow around the car. I do not think that I have boost leak as I have high torque clamps on all of the intercooler piping.

When the BOV goes off, I exepected it to be loud, and it is.

Should mine be making noise @ low revs?

The sound of mine changes about 4 times if i run it all the way to redline. My buddy had an AEM on his Evo and his does the same as yours. It made his stock BOV louder too.
