Re: the whistling (After_Burner)
honestly sounds like alternator noise but i would have to see hear it myself to say for sure. Try this. unplug your radio(dont turn off just totally unplug the back) if the sound continues take it to your mechanic.

Re: the whistling (After_Burner)
The whistling in my car comes from that funny snail thing mounted on the exhaust manifold, hehehe...
Sorry, I couldn't resist. I agree with the stereo noise, but if the stereo is off it shouldn't be whining. Some intakes have a whistling sound to it. Try revving your engine with the hood open and listen for whistling. Did you replace the trans fluid after the install? Of course you did, but check the level and also if the tires spin freely in neutural.....Good luck!

Re: the whistling (After_Burner)
It could possibly be your timing belt. It may need to be tightened or losened, one of the two. I know my Prelude did it once and I had it adjusted and the whine/whistle noise hasn't come back
