I just installed a short ram intake for my st (i bought the tubing from a guy on here) and when i turned the car on it started making a loud whooshy tin noise, almost like there was a leak but i went back and tightened the clamps twice. any ideas as to what might be wrong?

I could be wrong. But the easy way to find out is to go out, pop the hood, and try to pinpoint the sound. If its coming from the SRI then its then intake. All your hearing is air being rushed in. Thats assuming youve had no prior problems prior to installing the SRI.
