Anyone else have an intake that whistles at certain rpms? I've ignored it for months, but it's getting to me now. Anyone know how to make it stop?

Same thing is happening with my boy's gsr/eg after he put on the skunk manifold. Mine whistles a little bit.

skunk 2 im are suposed to do that, its like a trademark. all be series motors do whistle when you have a intake on them. some even without. It is caused by the buterflies openeing in the manifold, and the throtle body. mine does it too i like it tho....

mine hisses at idle...its loud as hell and kinda annoying...but i guess thats what i get for getting some cheapo filter...it was the filter i had from my turbo kit...

mine was really loud, i found that it was a rubber flap on the bypass valve was bent open. as soon as i forced it closed... it got a lot quieter.

WOOT WOOT!!!!

I have had my S2 mani for over a year a half, when i was just running off of motor i didn't notice any whistling sound.

I thought this was due to the intake piping, tb and im having different diameters?

my old intake on my EK did it all the time at certain RPMs. with my KN-filter. when i put on a diferent filter the sound went away.

Ha, so nobody really cared enough about the whistling to make it stop?

I guess I'll be like the majority and just ignore it.

I like long walks on the beach, revving into VTEC, and listening to my filter whisle...

ya ive gottena whistle ever since i put my intake on.... it doesnt ahrm anything.... jsut gets annoying... it has somethin to do with the throttle body/ manifold

It's just air rushing past a sharp edge. I have a homemade intake that sounds like a turbo spooling...I've had many comments about it. No one believes me when I tell them it's just an intake

jeremyEG

my skunk2 mani made my b18c whistle very loud low rpm's under load. like when going up a hill below 4k and giving it WOT.

yea they whistle, imagine blowing air over the top of an opening? ie a bottle, it will tend to whitle.

RPM's don't matter, I've found that there are 2 kinds of whistle...
1) When your car is just idling and you pop the hood, the gentle whistling from the intake.

2)Skunk2 IM at about 30% throttle, regardless of RPM, it whistles LOUD.
btw, I have a VAFC, that's how I got the 30%.

factory airbox acts like a baffle hence the bulk of it your intake isnt whistling your throttle body is and it always has but your stock airbox used to baffle it
