    So last night, i was installing my new K&N CAI. Almost done and I broke one of the plastic valvues on the K&N tube, so I had to put the stock air box and intake back on. But, i left the secondary airpump relocated to the front where you have to relocate it to let the new heat shiled fit. Now, i hear this weird noise. I know the '12+ models have that smog pump or maybe it is the secondary air pump that make that weird noise when you turn the engine off. I hear it at startup and when i turn it off. It is the same sound as before, just louder and a little "grindier" than normal.

    My only though, is that the secondary air pump has to be level....? Right now, it is not 100% level at the new location up front.

    Any thoughts?
