Since putting on my AWE side mounts and shrouds I've been getting a honking/horn type sound coming from my airbox from 3,000 rpm to 4500 rpm when applying light consistent throttle and usually when the boost gauge is at 0 or slightly under vacuum still.  Has anyone experienced this after installing intercoolers?  Can't seem to figure it out and it's driving my crazy.

Amazes me after taking it to a shop, talking to AWE, posting on three different forums, no one has experienced this before.  It's like I'm the first guy to install AWE intercoolers on an s4.  Looked over it for an hour at a shop today can't find anything wrong.  Only thing online I can find is porsche guys bitching that the 710N valves (which I have) honk...

? Everywhere I've looked a good set is $150 per dv... If you can find some for $200 please post the link as I'll buy them right now.  Also I don't want bailey's because I already have 2 that stuck open after 30k miles...

Baileys just suck period. I buy them from Overland out of california, they none branded billet dv's Overland sells alot of eurospec brand stuff. They
are 50 to 80 bucks depending how many I'm buying. http://overlandparts.com/pages/index.php

Yeah those are a good deal, but I can't find any reviews or information on them.. And I can't tell if they are diaphragm based or piston which is what I want.
