    Question on CAI

    I have an AEM CAI polished, which I know doesn't make a difference :)

    I was just wondering, ever since I installed it the noise coming from the front left fog light is extremely loud. It's a very loud sucking noise and I don't know if it's just me or what.

    Even when I had my muffler put on the guy commented on how bad that sounded. It's been a long time and the check engine light hasn't come on in over a year.

    This is on a 2003 corolla, so I was just wondering if anyone knew what could be the problem?

    i think that sucking loud noise is normal when you install a cai and if thats not case try install your stock box and hear if that loud sucking comes back.

    Eh? With the stock intake there was no noise coming from there, after installing the CAI there is a HUGE sucking noise coming from the front of the car.

    I mean loud, so it that just normal?

    that CAI is created a better vacuum compared to your stock intake. yes its normal. typically though the sound dies out some after your car has warmed up.
    btw, just remember to check your filter and change it when it gets dirty. and down there, it will get dirty quick
