HELP! 2003 2.0l tiburon (MAP sensor) is hissing after installing ram intake

So, i just installed a new RAM intake on my tiburon. Its a 2003 tibby with a 2.0l engine and the earlier model with MAP instead of MAF sensors. Incase thats relevant

After i had installed the intake i noticed its hissing really loud, especially if youre standing next to the car not so much inside. I checked under the hood and i noticed the hiss is coming exclusivley from the cone filter, at first i thought it was a vacuum leak but that made me have second thoughts, i checked all my clamps and everything to be secure and still havent found a source for the issue, or if it even is and issue

The hissing is a sort of high pitch akin to gas being released from a propane tank, not a normal vacuum sound.

This is my first car and first experience really touching the mechanics of a car either, so i dont know if this is normal or not but intuition tells me it isnt.

The intake is a foam cone filter, attached to an aluminion T pipe and then silicone tubing from there.

Also no taking the filter cover off doesnt make a difference.

Its important to note aswell that as of right now i havent driven the car after installing the filter, as im at my final car exam and havent had the chance to drive with anyone who can instruct me yet. Ive only given it a couple of revs to see how it reacts and it seemed to be normal.

Just got a 03 tiburon 2.0 as my first car! Advice appreaciated

Hi! I just got a 03 tiburon 2.0 as my first car. I got it for cheap with carplay and a nifty subwoofer installed aswell. Its got a few issues though such as one of the handbreaks needs replacing, right window doesnt roll down, and a leak between the engine and gearbox. All of this im getting serviced next week. However i would like to ask for any tips on maintaining the car and also any easier modifications to improve looks and performance, im not much of a car guy before getting the car so this is fairly new territory for me but i am very eager to try tuning this car up a little.
