im on my second d16z6 engine and have noticed that the intake is quite noisy, it makes a sort of hissing noise kinda like a dumpvalve but its constant and gets louder when you open the throttle body. its been the same on both z6's an i was just wondering if this is normal or weather summits wrong? any ideas?

does it have a cold air, also you might want to make sure your pcv valve hoses are connected all the way...

i think that hissing noise is normal when you apply an aftermarket air filter instead of stock intake filter. i have fujita 3,5" on a big whale intake and the hissing noise is loud and cool. you have nothing to worry about imho.
