    Direct Intake? help?

    I just took the stock tube off of my carbed air box. I plan to buy an intake filter and fit it onto my airbox to make a sort of short ram intake. But here's my question. When I took off the plastic piping and started the car, I got this sound comming fro somewhere under the airbox. It doesn't sound abnoxious or bad, but it asn't there before. Anyone know what this is? Is it my carb? Is it bad? Any help would be nice.

    I think that sound gives the car a tougher sound. I heard someone test drive my car and when they hit the gas the car just screamed! but to be careful about dirt, especialy with a carb.

    I love the sound of the suction of an air intake. It's like getting head from a chick (that cool)
