Default put the twin flow on is this normal

I dont see how i can really damage the car by changing the air flow...but is the car supposed to be louder when the new intake is on. I noticed a much louder sound as well as a popping from my exhaust for the first time (stock exhauset and H-pipe) is that just due to the increased air flow ? I am putting the corsa indy's on fri with the magnaflow x-pipe. its raining out now...just want to make sure i dont damage my car in anyway.

All normal. Poping sound if from the Corsa and the intake is loud because the car can actually suck air now. Stock air intake is really restictive.

I have the same set-up plus the H-Teck Mag. Yes it is louder and meaner sounding. :lol:

Normal: your car can now "inhale", and it likes it! You won't hurt it unless your right foot gets too heavy..... :D
