I used to have an LS, with a Skunk2 Intake manifold, AEM CAI. That thing would whistle like no tomarrow, but I think it comes form the CAI. For instance I would shift from first to third, and there would be to much o a load on the engine at low rpm's so it would whistle realy loud. I ave heard other cars have the same problem. The only way I got rid of it was by getting a turbo.

or does it whistles constantly?

It usually whistles right when you step on the throttle in every gear I noticed except 1st gear. It only whistles for a second or two then goes away. Doesn't the skunk2 manifold got a 64mm TB opening??

This whistle is normal if you have an intake.
Its the throttle plate not the manifold.
It make a whistle at a certain position.
I have a stock manifold and I still get the whistle.
Not bothersome at all though.
