Red face ARC instake box is TOO NOISY if I step HARD

Am I installing the ARC intake box in a wrong way? Why if I step real hard, is like a monster roaring and shaking under the hood.

Thats crazy!! but the sound is good! Its like a custom pipe sounds in the front.

ANyone interested I used it for 5 days only. btw I am driving an AT. I hate noisy!

Again ARC for 300 US, anyone?

Thanks

I highly doubt you installed your intake wrong since most aftermarket intakes growl. And if i'm correct the ARC utilizes a foam filter which i personally think is slightly louder then a cotton one. Especially when your giving it full throttle your intake is going to definitely be that loud. Somewhere on streetfire there are clips of a rx8 with an intake and its pretty loud. But if you don't like the sound i'm definitely interested in taking that intake off your hands. So you've got PM

The ARC filter is not foam. it's K&N style.
