My friends has an aem cai on his 98 ls and at certain rpms it makes a whistling sound. is this normal and did this happen to any of you guys?

 

yes its normal...its the sound of the intake sucking air....

 

Its not the growl that the intake makes, but like when he shifts it make a whistle. on my short ram intake it doesnt do that. so that whistle is normal?

 

its a good sound.. i know i love it when vtec kicks in .. But all i hear now is WOOP WOOP WOOP WOOP: the sound of my broken cv joint.. lol!

 

i dont think hes referring to the sucking in of air sound....ive heard that before as well(not on my car) but a friends. check all the hoses and connections.

 

Thats the blow off valve! lol

 

the whistling sound is normal, you especially hear it when rpms build up and you shift. I think it sounds good, eventually you dont notice it anymore, i have a 98 LS as well so theres proof its alright, i dont think it has anything to do with hoses being loose.

 

so it is normal. everyone should have it with an aem cai?

 

Normal for me here also

 

Its normal for me on my 98 integra RS

 

ive got it too ---- i remember the first time i heard that. i thought my intake flew off. oh well...old school accord days

 

i have it also at about ~3,000 - 4,000 Revolutions Per Minute

 

I've got it too, and enjoy it!

 

Mine does it. At first I was like "WTF" but you get used to it.
