I still have to laugh when people have problems with installing an intake...I did mine with a broken back and a six pack in me and no issues!

do you have the same intake? i only took off the headlight, thats it
anyone else have any thoughts? what if one of the rubber connectors was letting out air? could that be the cause of the problem?

Did you upgrade to the LS4 throttle body without tuning it? Check all hoses in the engine bay and your CAI coupler clamps for loose connections cuz it sounds like a vacuum leak.

I don't think a vac leak would do that...I had the vac line COMPLETELY off my intake and didn't have any power problems except a sucking sound that wasn't there before.

So i figured it out thanks to all of you. it WAS the MAF sensor, had it upside down. But the thing is that the bolts would only fit it you put it in the wrong way. i mean is that normal? WTF Rebal

that makes a whole lot of sense. God all this could have been avoided if rebel gave me some damn instructions with the intake!!! thanks RooTBeeR. Ill change it when i get my new headlights in.
is the chripping noise normal, or is that the intake sucking up air? sounds like i have a turbo, makes that sound when i change gears sometimes
