Default Whistling FMIC

OK... OK... I KNOW!!!! this is a ******* gay *** question but:

So I took my licence plate off the front of my car (it used to be right over the center of my FMIC).... Now i have this ******* whistle off the front of the car at between 20 and 35 MPH.... I mean it MIGHT be cool if i had other rice on the ******* car...i could tell everybody it was my tiiiight boost yo, or some ****... but it is driving me ******* nuts. Taking the plate off is THE ONLY thing that has changed... Im actually gonna put the plate back on, but was wondering if anyone else'e ride has done this...

Its not the IC leaking or anything, it still whistles when i coast in this speed range.

Whistling turbo cars are gay....

I dont want to be gay, o god, pleeeaaaase dont let me be gay!!!


HA HA HA

According to "Maximum Boost" Corkey Bell says that only about 1/4 of the IC needs to be exposed to the incoming air and it's best for the side that's closest to the hot side on the end tank. 80% of the cooling in done within the first couple inches of the IC. Put your Licence plate back on...your fine

HA HA thanks man... I actually took it off cause i had a little encounter with a curb and it took my lip off which my plate was mounted to) and although I put the lip back on, I figured id leave the plate off for a few days and see if i noticed any diference in performance I think ima put it back on though
