Help, please....(engine sound)

Ever since last night, every time I step on the gas I hear a "shhhhhhh" sound >>> kinda like a turbo blow-off valve, except that I don't have turbo >>> and it gets louder the faster I go.

I'm thinking I ruptured or blew out something or something's loose, but I don't know what.
Everything else seems fine.

Any opinions?

Yeah, when we did my brothers swap, we had to put some cocking on the cat and when he stepped on the gas, we thought that it was that the cocking fell out but it was really is CAI that we heard. Gotta love that noise.

I have that same sound, its so aweful lol.

But I know exactly what Mine is, its the connection between the exhaust pipe and cat convert, just after the cat.

It fell off in summer, and my dad and I jimmy rigged it with some weld bond from CT and a piece of exhaust pipe, its not loud but makes a hiss, I really got to get that fixed.

I just pinpointed the sound, and it's coming from the filter end of my CAI. Does this hissing sound mean something (water?) got in the filter? Or is it just damaged/loose....I hope it not's dangerous for the engine.....

You should be happy, many people pay $$ to get a sound like that.
