Re: Intake whistle????? WTF (batzcivic)

the noise that you hear is the increase in air being sucked into the intake system, thats perfectly normal, some intakes you can barely hear.

You must have got a whistle style air filter. Just go buy a non whistle style filter and you will be fine.

Re: Intake whistle????? WTF (sshonda2004)

It's not due to an increase in air, the sound was there before, it's just now it isn't muffled by the intake.

The whistling sound is the sound of the air going through the two holes just before the throttle body, I have heard of strategically placing something before the holes and disrupting the airflow and stopping the whistle. Sounds like way more trouble than it's worth.

BTW, welcome to H-T where all the gay people run around with quotes in their sigs

Completely normal. Due to the shape of the new intake.

Thank you... someone who knows what their talking about. Didn't you ever wonder why Honda puts all those stupid plastic boxes, tubes and baffles all over the stock air system? It's to muffle the all the noises that you are hearing now. They put resonators and mufflers on the exhaust system for the same reason.
