Hello Matt,

>From what I have gathered, the stock throttle body on the newer Daks are
the producers of the hiss (maybe our trucks want to be vipers?). The
stock intake system quiets this noise down considerably, but an
open-element filter system like yours does little to muffle the sound of
the TB.

Happy Dak-ing
