Cold Air intake

I just instaled my K&N cold air intake it seems to be making a loud hissing noise. Anyone else experience this? Is it normal on the xB?

It's more of a sucking sound than a hissing.

Yeah more like a sucking. But, this is the first time I have heard an intake make that noise. I have had 2 other inakes, but both were on VWs.

Intake = less restriction. Thus, less restriction = more airflow. So the noise you're hearing is perfectly normal

Well, I know the theory. It was just that it was the first time I had actually heard the air flow. And, it kind of weirded me out. I wanted to make sure that other xBs made the smae noise.
