no problem, as long as the intake is sealed. thats ur TB suckin in air freely, did you get the ver1 or ver2 k&n intake?

its there above 3000 rpm, its just the engine noise overpowers it

he means vfad. Racing Beat makes a duct that replaces it. It's right under the bumper, in front of your intake.

That's normal, don't worry about it. Although you might see some other problems with your ver1.
