Default Hissing sound?

Hello,

I recently changed the air filter with a K&N air filter drop in, I have this hissing sound. Any ideas if this is bad?

Any of you guys have the same problem?

the K&N has better airflow than the paper type and can create a different sound, as long as you hooked everything back up correctly nothing to worry about

Thanks man, I was getting all worried, I thought the air is leaking or something that might potentially damage the engine.

Now I'm rest assure.

Finally I did minor things, its time to change my fluids and change my rear rotors and brake pads.
