RRM v2 sucking sound

I installed my intake yesterday n i noticed that there is a noticeable air sucking sound while driving at around 3000-4000 rpm? is it normal or its a leak?

if it sounds like this, it's normal. Short ram intakes do make a distinctive sound.

it does sound like this but the air sucking sound is not loud enough to be heard when ur filming it, only the people in the car can hear it. let me know if u can hear a sucking sound on urs too?
ps. i didnt remove the snorkel from the stock intake coz it will bring cooler air into the area where the air filter is located, is this the reason??

I did the same thing with the snorkel and yes, I can hear a slight sucking sound. They pretty much all do this.

It's called a vacuum which is good when you have an aftermarket intake.
More sucking = better performance
