So I recently installed my 2.5 pulley, VMP tune, NGK TR7IX, and C&L INTAKE.

The tune feels good but I feel with my revised tune from Justin that my boost and numbers willl go up. (505/520 currently)

1st issue with my C&L intake is that I believe the iron casting of the intake tube hits the engine cover on any dips/bumps and makes an annoying noise.
Like a constant clunk.

2nd issue is that it doesn't look as good as stock. (i love the svt heat shield)
I will be putting back the stock CAI w/ the FRPP resonator delete with a blue airaid filter.
will i loose any power by doing this? I'm hoping it won't make a difference.


The heat shield is a little loose because one end attached to the fender is slightly broken so I think that's why it's doing it.

but then again I am not 100% sure what else it could be... Ive tried shaking the intake and it does make a clunk noise when it touches the engine bay...

...but if it is not the intake, what else can it be???
A shop did all the labor, is there something that could have been left loose while doing a pulley, spark plugs, iddler, intake change?

it sounds like it is coming under the hood exactly from where the intake is...
it only rattles when the left side of the car goes over anything, but no the right side.
