CAI causing wierd noise

Put a Cai on this summer and now the car is making some sort of gargling noise. Hard to explain and I have no audio for it. It definately is affected by the rpms. It usually only happens @ 1/4 throttle if i go harder u cant hear it (drowned out by s/c noise) Not sure whats going on, I know when you put a cone filter on u can hear the valves more but i didnt think it would make a chug/gargle noise its not quite a tick either. 2005 Comp G 70000km on her. Oh and the oil gets pretty dark other than that no other symptoms. I am going to seafoam soon. Was wondering if one of my lifters is gone or going. Any suggestions?
 


I just hate that it sounds like somethings F'd up. I can't count how many times I've been asked what's wrong with my car or when someone starts trying to tell me what it could be lol. Can't wait to put my northstar on
 


Thats good news thx for the replys, now what could be causing the dirty oil... I change it every 5000km or less and use synthetic and the car has somewhat low mileage only 70000 km = 43000 miles. What type of seamfoam should I use there are a few kinds I can get my hands on.
 


And you HAVE to use your stock TB...there is no upgrade unless you can figure out a way to match the pins from a larger bore DBW TB such as a LS2/LS7
