Default CAI problem? maybe...

Hey guys wonder if anyone could help me out with this one. Gave my car a bit of go this afternoon on the way home but noticed a weird sound coming after the induction sound of my CAI ( no it wasn't my bov.... ) . Seems to be happening after every time im on boost. Checked all the clamps and filter seems to be okay. Running a process west CAI with tune if that helps, any info will be great! And be gentle still learning the art of wrx's.

Best bet if you have a prob with CIA is to get in contact with FBI.

CAI perhaps?
Description of "weird sound" may help...

Did you physically check for leaks by removing the fender plastic under guards?

I'd suggest a potential tear in the filter itself.

Agreed, or your airbox isnt locked down right...

You remembered to put the filter back in right?
