Hey guys me and my friend got the intake in and tight..but when we drove it every couple minutes the engine made this grinding type of sound..we stopped and popped the hood..we heard like a ticking noise coming from around the throttle body..we dont know if it takes getting used to or what it is..because there was no grinding noise when we drove it but randomly it would pop up for a second..if anybody has some first hand experience on this please let us in..and if you think you know what we did wrong..even better thanks!
