Sucking sound upon throttle after Magnaflow Catback install

Just installed a Magnaflow catback system. Now, there is a slight hesitation and sucking sound when sharply pressing the throttle. Other than that, the car seems to be running fine. Any thoughts as to what might be causing this?

Here's a video...

Do you mean the initial "chug" inhaling sound when you hit the throttle?

It had crossed my mind that the sound may have been there before the Magnaflow install, but I was unable to hear it because I was running a muffler delete. I still have doubts about that though.

Really? Are there any videos of other twins making this sound? I have never heard the sound, or heard anyone talking about the sound.

Mine is stock and makes that noise. I also drove a Celica GTS and when we put a CAI on it, it REALLY made that sound. It sounded like one of those speedy loud flushing toilets.

Incidentally, I lucked into this Magnaflow catback today for $200. Dude took it off his BRZ and threw it on Craigslist. I snatched it up with the quickness.

Because it's normal on pretty much every vehicle.

I find I notice sounds more right after I do a mod to the car mostly just because I am paranoid and looking for something/anything..

Oh no! You mean the intake is audibly sucking in air? KILL IT WITH FIRE!

I've never had a car make such a pronounced and percussive intake noise. I think I might have to sell the car now.
