Sorry guys, did a search to see if I could answer this question but couldn't find anything.

I just installed the K&N air charger and really like it. One thing that I noticed is that when I shut the engine off there is a puffing sound, like air blowing back. At first I thought that maybe the crankcase vent hose was too long and crimping at the bend, so I cut a 1/2 inch off of it and smoothed the bend out. Problem still exists. Any ideas?

That's perfectly normal..mine does it too and so does everyone elses...It is the throttle body butterfly valve closing off once all the engine vacuum depletes, once the engine stops...
