On my CAI I had to install a piece of weatherstripping with tape to keep it from rubbing.

Anyway you can record it and put the camera close to where the spot is coming from.

Noice complaints are the HARDEST to solve without being there in person.

The ticking you are hearing is your injectors firing, this is perfectly NORMAL.

Our injectors are really loud, especially if you remove the engine cover.

these engines make alot of valve noise....the CAI just makes it louder due to the fact that a metal pipe reflects sound rather than absorbing it...
