I suppose not, but I sold mine because the tuner couldn't tune the car worth a **** with it on, so I went back to a stock one and the money i had left over damn near paid for my tune.

Mine does it too!youll just have to get used to it.I called bbk years ago about that and they said its normal.

what did you need to grind from your lid/intake?I believe the noise is because theres no hole on the blade like the stock one

Don't feel bad. My ported TB hisses like a snake too. It is all that smooth airflow!

I heard on another thread that in order for the hissing noice youll have to grind the intake 5mm so i can match the 80mm TB...i love the sound!

I have the MTI and it is totally normal. Just like the others said, you'll get used to it!!! These cars do not suppose to be quiet anyways. That is how I look at it and I kind of like it!!!
