I was afraid of that. Nevermind.

Good to know! This car is the first car I've ever modded, so there's noises I'm not used to. It's good to understand what's normal or not when you mod your car. I appreciate all the inputs

You’ll get used to it. I love my CEL, burbles, creaks, brake squeal & dust, feels like I‘ve got a proper track car. Now get out and track that bad boyee and never look back ?

Today I installed an Armaspeed intake, and I took it for a quick test drive to see how it sounds. For some reason, when I let off the gas at low rpms (~2k rpm) it makes a noise that sounds similar to when you're slurping from cup with a straw and there's no drink left. I'll attach a video as an example?

Is this normal? Any fixes?

Specs:

• 2021 3.0
• Catless DP
• Armaspeed Intake
• No tune / No JB4. Just stock tune
• Stock Exhaust.

Edit: I made sure everything's secured. Couplers are secure, intake is rigid. Everything seems evenly placed.

You gain a flutter once you install the armaspeed. I wonder if that's what you're hearing. Spooling is also louder.

MST and Armaspeed both have that flutter when you left off after accelerating. 100% normal, and expected.

It's not the flutter. It's a different noise, and It's a bit hard to capture with my mic.

I've been driving it more and when I hear that specific noise, I can definitely feel it (kind of like a small vibration feel). The sound is raspy; closest description of the sound is what @Diablo mentioned before lol

I like your steering wheel, where did you get it? Was it hard to install?

Got it from @NitroYellowMKV , he's the best!

It was pretty easy to install. "Hardest" part is getting the airbag out. Other than that, everything's cake. The steering wheel really changes the driving feel, it's my favorite mod to this day
