Overall its' not a pleasent sound you'd like to hear from a performance engine. I'm concerned enough that I'm thinking of pulling it and replacing with stock box and the smaller K&N filter. I have a 3" catback exhaust that splits into duel outlets but I haven't done anything to the exhaust manifold, downpipe or cat. they are all stock.
PS - I don't think I got any hp improvment with the addition of this filter!!Any thoughts?? (my 1st post)

A big 2-3 hp gain and a loss of torque. That's what you get with the PT turbo and an open intake.
The sounds you are hearing are normal with an open intake.
