Question Question for those with AEM short-ram (auto P5)

We just installed my shorty, but I'm hearing this strange hissing noise near the filter. It's either a hissing or a sucking noise. We put a piece of paper near the filter, and it wasn't blowing out. Everything seems tight. What the heck could this be? Is it normal? It continues for a second or two after the car is shut off too. HELP!!

Thumbs up

Even after it shuts off? I turned the engine off, and it still hissed for a second or two. Just want to make sure. But thanks for the quick response!

Yes I have it too, its normal. The reason for it is a suction sound, and when you turn your car off, the cylinders still move for 1/2 second without power therefore there still suction and the whooooooshhhhh sound. A friend thought I had a turbo LOL!
