Default ***KINETIX V4 Installed:: QUESTION PLEASE

Just installed the v4 for the first time ever. I made sure to not overtighten the 12 bolts. Just started the engine for 30 seconds to make sure no leaks. Everything appears to be ok. There was a little smoke from the drivers side, could that have come from the fuel line that runs to the throtle body, i disconnected the hose below the spark plugs. The smoke scared me a little. Also, it sure sounds different, you really can hear the air rumbling in the plenum, is this normal?? Quite a bit louder than the stock plenum.

Just checking.

Whats up my man. Long time no see. What do you know about the 24 hr autox in Charlotte in 2 weeks. Im thinking of making the drive.

I have had my V4 plenum since the GB and I love it. No cracks or sign of cracks at all. I have ran the **** out of my car since I added it and it is holding up nicely. You should get you one!!

I can't believe how different the motor sounds with the V4. Is it normal to hear quite a bit of a different sound from the motor????????????
