I built a 3.5" custom ram intake this weekend however I'm noticing a loud vibration which could possibly be my air filter hitting the felt liner on the bottom of the hood. This only seems to happen when I rev over 6k rpm. I used an old k&n fipk air box and think I might be able to make more room by cutting a slightly larger hole to allow the intake to ride lower.
Will this be a long term problem if the filter continues to hit the liner or could I put some padding on the liner to reduce the vibration?
Or does anyone have a suggestion for a lower profile filter cone? I'm using a 6" AEM filter.

I am using the K&N airbox for mine as well. The Filter sits about level with the top of the box. I did modify the elbow bracket that held the K&N intake arm to fit the 3.5" intake. I do not have rubbing issues, I also do not have the hood liner installed.
I don't have an image straight on from the front of the car, but you can get a feel for what is happening from this photo.
