i havre a cold air intake and stock TB with a skunk2 manifold, and everytime i accelerate i hear a whistling noise coming from the intake filter i was just wondering if that is normal with this manifold. i have a 94 ls with H/I/E/IM

 

yes, this is normal. my aem cai on my old ef used to whistle pretty loud, i've heard of many people experiencing the same thing on their eg's and dc's as well.

 

cool thanks because all my friend were like dman wtf is that noise you must have an air leak or some shiet, but i told him its my supercharger lol but thanks for the info i will sleep better now

 

SGT told me that with the Skunk 2 mani having a 64mm port and the t/b being 60mm, 62 if you have an ITR t/b causes the whistle. The cure would be a 64mm t/b, but I would assume that there would always be some whistling.

the gasket might be the cause also

 

if you mean if there a air leak, that not the issue i checked for air leaks in the tb and is none

 

r u guys serious? almost all cai's whistle, they just do its the air going in. sounds real nice IMO

 

it whistled on my gsr mani and on my ls mani. and on all my buddys cars too

 

yeah its does i been asked from random people if i had a supercharger sometimes i say yes and most times i saw no , but i been planning to get a bigger tb for awhile just wondering if its a common issue with skunk2 im

Its not the mani, its the TB. When its partially open, the air moving past it is just at the right speed for the opening size to whistle. Its always done it, but without the CAI you'll never hear it. Changing the mani probably won't get rid of it, unless it radically changes how the air flows through the TB.

 

thanks for the clear up

Because??? The ITR mani. port is 64mm, t/b is 62. Ths GSR mani. port is 62, the t/b is 60mm. This causes what???? You guessed it, the famous whistle. As I eluded to earlier, port match the t/b to the mani. and most of it will go away. I like the whistle myself.

 

BUT DOES IT CREATE A LACK OR POTENIAL HP

 

No it doesn't.

 

Yeah mine does that too, i dont think its a problem though.

 

my friend had a 97 LS with front mount intake, h/e/cg/pllys . It whistled a bit and sounded NiCe. when he got the Skunk2 IM and kept stock TB the whistle was even more pronounced and sounded even NiCeR. i guess my whole point is I LIKE THAT DAMN whistle hehe

 

for sure i mean i like it too i mean i love it lol but when i have girls in my car their like wtf is that noise

 

Are you guys serious? The intake manifold always whistles it is air suction! When you buy you manny it should come with a passive book read it!

I had a stock GSR TB on the skunk manifold with a short ram intake, so the whistle used to be really loud. I portmatched the TB to the skunk manifold and put back OEM intake and the whistle completely disappeared.

 

Some filters whistle also, K&N's are notorious for whisteling. I have a Skunk2 Manifold and a BBK 70mm throttle body on my CRV, but there parts made for a Integra LS, and it whistled for like the first 25 miles i drove it, then stopped whisteling, why I do'nt know, but i think its common.
