i assume the whistling noise coming from my intake (around 2500rpm) is normal since a few people told me theirs does the same. is this a correct assumption and is there any way to get rid of it?

 

search.

 

Only thing I can think of is to switch brands of filters and see if it'll make a difference or maybe angle the intake arm a certain way...just my .02

 

Mine does the same thing. I assume that there is nothing that you can do. Although switching filters may help.

 

aahhhh, intake noise. learn to love it. wait till you get a skunk2 intake manifold, your intake is nothing.

 

put your stock airbox back on.. and while your at it throw your stock exhaust on. people tend to forget that performance only has benefits.

 

I have found that if you bypass the coolant lines which run into your intake manifold, then the whistling sound decreases significantly.

 

In order to stop the whistling you have to restrict the flow of air, costing you horse power and torque. Even though it's not that much hp and trq every little bit helps in this day and age.

Oh yeah man I love the way the skunk2 TypeR manifold whistles, especialy on my cousins GSR. Sssssssss < GOTTA LOVE IT!!!

 

I just say its my turbo spooling up. Somewhere, someone believes me...

 

My whistling went away completely when I re-adjusted my Idle.

 

I completely love the whistling sound... keep it... enjoy it... learn to live with it.

WHISTLING NOISE = your best friend

 

sometimes the whistling noise comes from the tube that connect to the valve cover breather. try plugging the hole on the intake pipe and putting a breather filter on the valve cover. if you already have this then disregard

 

the aem whistle is awesome.

learn to love it.

what type of noises is ur skunk2 makin?

 

that has got to be the funniest thing i've heard.

 

Why?

 

because the whistling comes from the angle t/b butterfly. not the tube. btw, i have a valve cover breather and i plugged the hole and it still does it so it cant be right. i like the whistle noise

 

Don't you think that little filter pulls in allot of hot air from the engine bay?

I just went to Pep Boys and got this little nipple looking thingy to plugged mine cause I thought that the HOT air from that filter kind of cancels out the CAI.

 

Because there is no way the valve cover breather line will make that loud of a noise IF it makes a noise.

all the breather line does is relieve (sp?) pressure from the head making it breathe.

Breather filters are mostly show and don't have an 'intake whistle' effect whatsoever, they just make it so if any overflow oil pressure under the valve cover will not go into the intake pipe and slow down flow of air

So...

that breather filter had nothing to do with it, so I got a laugh at it.

 

hahaha. o man, this is gettin funny.

You don't want to plug that up. Look what I have mentioned before.

The breather is in no way an 'intake' effect. It just relieves pressure in the head allowing it to breathe getting it from the intake pipe.

 

We are talking about two different things.

I am talking about the open hole in the intake ex: AEM CAI where the hose from the valve cover goes.

Does someone have a pic??

 

wisthkiung noise comes from the air suction tru a Cone type filter.... not too much suction, or too much suction will not let u hear the noise.....
i got the Weapon R intake and i can really hear the loud wistling noise. i like it alot......

 

just learn to love the whistle noise.

it'll make ricers think you have a turbo

 

i have a valve cover breather not a cold air intake breather. i capped the hole on the intake and put a breather on the valve cover.

heres a pic. you can see the black cap on the intake and then the breather on the valve cover.

 

That is what I did on the intake.....

My vent just has a little piece of rubber hose on it.

A friend of mine had the little breather on his intake and that was what I was talking about.

 

You really don't want to put a breather on that spot on the valve cover. It is connected to the intake because the opening acually uses the vacum(sp) from the intake, to draw in air to the valve cover area. If you don't believe look at a diagram of the pcv system.
