the induction noise of a firewall cai is noticeable under acceleration because the cabin vent inlet is located on the passenger side of the cowl area under the plastic drainage tray at the base of the windscreen. usually the standard airbox is fairly quiet as it's not drawing air from next to the cabin vent inlet, so it might be worth checking the various intake joints especially if the noise is new.
