after installing AEM CAi

when i shut down my engine.. i hear a shooshing noise.. then it stops. is it normal? i'm so proud of myself :D i don't know shit about th engine bay but i did it :D i know i know it's easy but still :D also i just realize a humming noise near the filter.. i think ididn't tighten it well enough.. or is it just suppose to be like that?

yup that sound is totally normal..... kinda cool, swooosh..... congrats on the install, and many more in the future

One thing to watch for (not like *I* did this, ummmm*cough*) is that the K&N filter that comes with the CAI sometimes still has some loose rubber moulding from the manufacture process. If you don't remove it before installing it, this junk will get sucked up into your intake manifold and possibly caught on the throttle body. This will cause your car to idle very high (mine idled at 5000rpm when i did this), and make a VERY noticeable swooshing sound when shutting off.

It's worth the 15 minutes to unbolt your coolant reservoir and CAI to make sure you don't have some black rubber stuck in your throttle body!
