Recently picked up a 2014 IS350 F-Sport and didn't notice anything unusual when the engine was idleing. I installed an HPS Shortram Post MAF Intake Pipe along with an Afe Dry Panel Filter. It now sounds like the engine is idleing a lot louder. I disconnecting the negative terminal on the battery for 10 min, let it idle for 5 min and then have taken it out for a spirited drive but it continues to be louder during idle.
Before I replace everything back to stock as a test I wanted to see if anyone has any thoughts as to why this may be happening.
Thx!

Thx for the info. Assumed it would be louder WOT but didn't expect to hear any difference at idle.
Below is a vid of the engine sound. Assume the ticking sound is the Direct Injection.
