Which noise?

6637 opens up the intake, and you hear all the noises the stock turbo makes. The "Darth Vader" exhale on up-shifts is normal, as is the steady hiss sound at very low RPM's.

The rattlesnake "chuffa-chuffa" sound is surge, and you want to avoid that.

Thats all normal with the 6637 Brandon its part of it being an open air intake nothing to reduce the noise when the air blows back.

It makes a steady whoosh untill I let off, then it goes away.

If it's just a whoosh then you are good.
