do you have an intake manifold or intake? if the sizes are mismatched, or something like that, the disturbance of air flow across the difference causes the whistling, I hear if you get them matched up, it will stop it.

maybe you need to tighten your claps or something is loose.

Its a normal sound, its just your intake taking in air.

i have a home made 3" intake with a K&N filter, mine does the same thing, i thinks its b/c of the "shielding" thats on the filter, and i think its b/c of a couple folds getting bent. i don't really know, just a thought

its actually the air flowing past the valve on the throttle body..certain intakes just amplify the sound. it happens on alot of cars especially 5.0 mustangs and Honda motors.

its because of the filter they use, i switched to an HKS filter and you cant really hear it anymore. but its funny because some people think my car is turboed

My aem short ram does the same exact thing. I actually think it sounds pretty tight AEM filters are known for the whistling.
