Have a 16 SS. Anyone else able to hear their air intake?

Atleast that's what it sounds like. On small throttle blips I can hear my stock air intake. Either it started to be louder today or I'm just now noticing it. Wanted to figure out if this is normal or warrants a dealership visit

Add Kooks and MBRP Cat back exhaust then you won't hear it again....

its a lot more noticeable on my stingray, I cant really hear it on my ss. Vette sounds like its taking a huge gulp before it revs up. I love it!

Completely normal; there are more than a few threads on the forum covering this. There is a tube running from the intake tube (near the throttle body) to the cabin specifically to bring the intake sound in.

There are also a few threads on how to remove the tube and block off the hole to the cabin and intake tube; if that is to your liking.

Nope, never... it's impossible to hear over me shouting, "yippieee, yippeee!" every time I hit the gas.

Wait till you hear your rear end then take it in.
