Many if not all intakes, short ram or "cold air" will make the whistling noise.

It's basically an ITR-only noise. The AEM made the loudest whistle, my icebox does the same, and even the stock box made some noise.

dude,
don't worry about it. all type r's get that sound with intakes. you had that sound already (remember when i mentioned it?), and now b/c there is no resonator absorbing all the sound, you hear every sound the engine makes.
but don't worry....you become quickly accustomed to it.

by the way, how's the car running with the AEM and comptech??

later!

And I actually like the whistle my Mugen intake makes

I find the resonance around 3000 rpm much more annoying.

It's not ITR only, happens on all integras. Some are just louder than others.

Even the stock box whistles if you listen hard enough.

I cut my AEM CAI into a short ram for throttle response reasons (and being bored) and I can vouch for it whistling both ways.

it's not that annoying... i like to make it whistle back and forth with the throttle when passing girls on the street

my comptech icebox doesn't whistle. i have a JDM DC 4-1 and Spoon N1 axleback so maybe i just can't hear the whistle.

Don't cut the AEM CAI- Leave it alone. Now you can say you have a SC to the dumb ricers that pull up and say "whatyagot?"

its not Type-R only. I've only ridden in a few hondas that DONT make that noise with aftermarket intakes.
