mine whistles really bad. i got a b18c5 with blox intake manifold and aem cold air, and stock throttle body and when i press the gas 15% it whistles the whole time. when its full throttle or driving normal it doesn't whistle.

Re: intake whistle? (CurbSide)
The reason you cant normally hear it is koz the standard intake pipe and filter are too restricting and long, with bends all over! When ya put a short ram and K&N on like mine its not as muffled making it alot louder.
You'd also notice if your car was turbo with a standard BOV dumping excess air back into the intake turbine it will blast back out the filter like a real BOV. I tried it n it really works lol

the real question you should be asking is has anyone noticed a difference over stock...because there isnt much..cold air..short ram..all just a bunch of noise that makes ppl think they are traveling at 3x10^8 m/s

yeah, does your AEM intake make a really loud PSSST sound when you let up off the gas? I threw a couple squirrels up in the intake and it makes all kinds of sounds now.

yea i really like it except the whistle that pisses me off to no end. i feel like it added a little power all across my powerband. SOME not alot, but considering i got it from HT for 160 i feel like i got a good deal. soundwise it sounds strong and deep but i do hate the amount of noise the intake adds to my car, can hardly hear the radio.

Re: (CurbSide)
it really depends on the type of intake u have. Most cai's have a deep whistle during idle. But u cant really hear it when u hit the throttle. For sri's, there is sometimes a high pitched whistle that is a lil annoying. My friend has a generic sri and it whistles every time he hits the gas. It bugs the hell outta me. Lol! I had the A'PEXi Power Intake filter w/ 3in. it didnt whistle. All u can hear is the suckin of the air like a vacuum. It was awesome!
