Default ebay jdm n1 exhaust makes whistle noise?

I got my ebay jdm n1 exhaust installed today sounds good nice deep tone. Meineke said the piping and install was all good. But I hear a whistle noise when accelerating between 2500 ish rpm and 3 to 3500 anyone ever heard of this with n 1 doesn't sound like an exhaust leak. Kinda sounds like a fake bov or somethinn

It's a feature. To let everyone know you got that JDM on your ride. It's ALL fake. It's not a real N1 system. It's not real JDM. It's Ebay. No of of them are the same.

BTW. My BOV Doesn't whistle. It wooshes.

Maybe if you added "style" after N1, it would make more sense.

Does everyone know that this is an exhaust noise for sure?

Mine started to do something similar after I cleaned out my intake mani and tb. No change to the exhaust side of things.

Lol not being rude...but they make a "whistle" at similar rpms and I guess might be more evident if you put a different exhaust on?

My friends ebay exhuast did this, could never figure it out. He then got tired of it, when we went to take it off we found a couple little holes around the flange metting the header.
Doubt this would do it, but none the less there were holes, it is possible.

By the way, if it is on ebay and says JDM, and doesnt have OEM (not OEM STYLE) somewhere near it, it is likely a sign it is junk.

all i have to say is don't get all bent out of shape. honestly in probably a year you'll be back on about a different ebay exhaust cuz your old one rotted out.

no idea what it is. jack the car up have a friend accelerate to 25-3k rpm and see if you can find the whistle. jeez that was a hard idea to think up.
