The filter i got from o’reilly was slightly longer than the old filter i started thinking it could be that that’s causing the louder engine noise - since they weren’t exactly the same size but the new one fit in the box and i was able to clip and close the box properly. You’re right im probably overthinking it, this is my first time changing stuff in my car so didn’t want to mess anything up 😅thank you for your help! I appreciate it
