Default engine knocking?

i went to get my inspections done today.
and the mechanic there said i had a knocking sound coming from my engine.
i told him it might be my CAI pipe hitting the fender wall.
but he said something might be wrong with the valves.
any ideas?

If your CAI is hitting the fender wall.... that's most likely what it is.

If that's the case, then get yourself a CAI panel from Doctor Isotope.
