SRI question

I have a RRM SRI with the carbon fiber heat shield and K&N cone filter. I just noticed that when i shut off my car, i hear a weird sucking sound comming from the intake after the engine is shut off...like right after....... Is that normal?

me thinks so, but i jsut had to make sure.

Thumbs up

This has been discussed a lot too in the past but yeah its normal as far as I know. I had the same problem and it scared me for a sec but its ok. All of the crap that you take out(air box, ram, etc...) is what prevented you from hearing it in the first place. I dont know if its as loud with the CAI as the SRI. Happy modding!
