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 agree with the water issue, but I think they make a bypass of sorts for that reason...lemme check. I know that AEM makes one, and Injen makes a filter wrap, that is supposed to be water repellent (not water proof). But mainly the thing i read about a lot is that a CAI is fine when it rains (one guy in maine said he had to oil his twice a winter though), just dont drive into any still standing water (the cone has to be submerged for it to hydro-lock). For me, since I live in texas, it would be a good idea, but do I really want to have to remove the bumper each time I want to service a filter? PRobly not. But if your happy with the SRI, stick with it.
