I have the ARK with Berks. Thiss hiss/whistle is normal, the metal rattling is NOT. Sounds like a clearance issue with the install.

Also, I had a rattling right after my install too. It turned out that plug for the extra O2 bung on the Berk HFC was not torqued down properly from the factory and was rattling loose. Tightened it up and the metallic rattling was gone. Don't know if yours even has that O2 bung, but it's worth a look.

I specifically asked them to use lock-tite on that bung and torque it down. I'll check again tomorrow.

I'm getting that same rattling too man. I did the install myself. I got a little hiss, thought it was a leak. I went back on a lift. Let it cool down after installing my suspension then started the car, lifted it and check all the couplings. No leaks. Thats just how it sounds. I will look at my rattling issue today.
