Yup, if you just replaced your OEM Air Box with an Aftermarket Intake that is definatly what's causing the whistling. However I'm sorry to say this, but I don't know if you can elimenate the whistling from the Intake hoses. My friends intake does the exact same thing though, so don't worry about it, as eventually you'll just forget all about it.

Yeah, if I'm at or below 3 grand and go WOT right before I shift, it kinda sounds like a blow off valve. I didn't notice it until my friend rode with me and said whoa, it kinda sounds like a blow off valve.

Mine did that too. I just put headers and an exhaust on, and now my cars so loud I cant hear it anymore.

Its your intake, mine does this also. I can modulate the throttle and make it whistle all the time for COOL sound effects

Has anyone ever tried sticking a balloon at the end of the pipe where the hose should run to the valvecover. If it leaks air, hummmmmmmmm.
