Default My intake sounds odd !

I sound like a rice-mobile ! I put on my K&N cone filter, along with a breather filter, and now i have a ricey ricey sound. I love the sound of a BOV and the "pssssh" but this is strange. At around 3-3.2k rpm it starts going up.. then it pushes off, which is normal. but when i shift it is like it is already "pssshh"-ing and it sounds like im a high-schooler with my BOV adjusted to the lowest setting. I can be driving in 3rd or 4th at around 3k rpm and i push the gas BARELY.. and my "pssshh" starts up and holds.. is this really normal or what? Ive installed cone filters on other cars and you can hear a difference at low rpm, but now the only difference i hear is this "pssshh" sound, which is almost all the time.
help

Not sure about all that, but let me know if you want a stock air box and a k&n drop in panel filter for $50 shipped, will give same gains, less "rice" noise :-)

but THAT much ? Im not sure if im over-reacting, but its strange. When i rev up I cant hear any difference until it hits over 3k rpm, then the "spooling" sound

maybe... i think you can adjust the dahlback...
im sure someone will be able to tell you for sure. I personally love it. My brother mr2 sounds SO awesome when just cruising... The only thing i dont like is his BOV popping like very 8 seconds lol. He wants a different one.

Everything is normal, if you dont like the sound, put the airbox back on. And please refrain from calling the car ricey just because it makes noise, thats just dumb
