Default Fast intake idle louder than stock?? Help!

So i just finished getting myt FAST intake all put on, It idles fine, right where it did with the ls6 right below 1000 rpm. Under the hood it seems like it idles louder. Did anyone notice this when they put theirs on, I don't know if it is a vacuum leak, wouldn't the idle raise and raise if there was a leak? Help me out!

The intake definitely sounds way more hollow than an lsx

Yeah, you can definitely hear more injector and intake vavle noise with the fast intake.

It doesn't bother me as it's a muscle car and not a luxury car or hybrid, so I don't mind hearing some engine noise.

I just installed my xs headers, off road y with a FAST92/NW combo and I'm scaring small children. I agree the engine is louded, but as The Alchemist stated its a Muscle Car.

Much louder, add in stainless headers and you really hear everything now.

FAST wasn't designed for noise/vibration reduction. GM's intakes were.

Fast intake shell is a lot thinner than a factory Intake........My valvetrain noise got a lot louder. No worries
