kwikfilter

I installed the kwikfilter and I do not like it. It makes too much noise under a load accelerating & letting off the throttle.Does anyone have the same problem or is this normal.

Yep, this is normal but it's not a problem. If you're looking for an upgrade on the intake that's real quiet, look at the AIS filter with the fender boot.

NO..! it's just Mr. Kwik driving his PSD, (with the 5" exhaust), down to the store to get Mrs. Kwik some milk..!

quick filter

Does it make that big of a difference? I mean how much louder is it? 10% What? can you hear it at an idle?

I guess it wont be to big of a deal in mine with the stereo components and dvd system that its getting.

If I was that woriied aboiut scarding people I wouls just start my Big Dog up and listen to the car alarms go off. My wife can hear it 3 miles away.

I just did this air filter mod with a fleetguard filter AH1141, and love the sound. I don't seem to hear much whistle from the turbo but alot of air sucking and blowing off when letting out of the gas.

i love the PSSSSSHHWWWW when it shifts and also when cresting hills, you let off and it makes the awesome sound. i can also hear a slight "howling" sound from the wicked wheel less than 3psi of boost. this is a lower toned sound, before you hear the awesome signature "Wicked Wheel" sound.
