Default comptech intake = vibrations?

hey, I've asked this question several times but wasn't able to get an answer. Anyone with a Comptech intake? please help.
I installed mine last weekend and it sounds awesome. But one thing I notice is that it's so loud, it vibrates the car and interior too. Not too much vibration, but it wasn't there before the itnake? Vibrations around the 4-5K rpm range, higher rpm is fine and without vibrating? I was just wondering if this is normal????
Maybe I installed the intake wrong and the intake is resonnating like crazy causing the vibrations?....
thanks,

I think I replied in your other thread and said my K&N FIPK did not vibrate the interior, but I noticed it this afternoon. I was gunning it and there was something in the interior vibrating or resonating a little bit. It actually went away after driving a while longer, so I think whatever was vibrating heated up or just settled into place where the vibrating stopped??

Thanks, I think the whole issue is that the intake is resonnating at a certain frequency which makes the whole car vibrate as well. I wonder if I add some kind of an extra attachment, maybe it wil change it's resonnance property?

Has anyone figured out what part of the interior causes the resonance? Any fixes?
