If you installed the PLP intake, you shouldn't have even touched the ABS unit...nor come close?

Yeah, you shouldn't even touch the ABS control unit when installing aftermarket intakes. When you say you have a brake rattling sound, are you talking about the brake pedal, one of the 4 brake calipers/rotors, or something else?

If it's some kind of rattling some from the engine bay around the ABS control unit, then I would just check to make sure everything is nice and tight.

the sound comes from the front wheels...i'm not sure which one but when i push the brake, the sounds occur and when i release the brake. the sound goes away. it doesnt come very often, only sometime. maybe i should check the ABS unit to be sure

thank's for the response guys
