Default Help with a leak.....

Installed a ProPipe and a PM Supergas and it looks and sounds awesome, but something is up. I have taken apart the air cleaner three times and put it back together and can't get it right.

The problem is an air sucking sound (only when I crank the throttle) that is coming from what sounds like the top of the intake. I know I had a small exhaust leak at the torqa clamp, but I can't see why that would cause that noise. Would an exhaust leak make that noise or can it only be the intake? If it's the intake, what else should I try? It is driving me crazy.

sure it is not just the normal sound of the intake which is now more "open" than the stock with the plastic enclosure?
