my whisles really bad at like half throttle it sounds good once and awhile but it's getting annoying. is there way i can stop this sound.also why do some cars do it and some don't.

 

push your intake all the way up your throttle body... or the filter or something... theres some kind of resistance inside the intake pipe...

 

They all whistle. Even at idle. Either get used to it or put the stock intake back on.

EDIT: All D series motors that I have had contact with is what I mean...sorry guys.

ok my friend has a b16 and his whistles too so im just gonna go head and say that all b16 whistle cuz of the CAI...my b18c doesnt so i dont think they ALL do
just the b16
hope that helps

 

My b16 doesnt whistle at all.

But I used the same intake on my dpfi d15 and it whistled like a bitch.

 

depends on filter and pipe shape/diamater. Ur the first person i've ever heard complain of the whistle. Take it off. I hate that deep intake sound anyways. Goes hand in hand w/ slow cars.

 

Give it more gas

Once the filter is properly worn in - i.e., dirty. It should not whisle as much... But it is some that comes with installing an after market intake.

 

i think they all make some noise

 

yep, especially at higher rpm's

 

Adjust the idle screw for more air. I think its counter clockwise but dont unscrew it all the way. Sometimes it helps. No more whistling for me.

 

Whistle on a B18B1 with SR and K&N filter. It still whistled with a CAI, so go figure, one thing though the more dirty it got the louder the whistle. If A.C is on it whistles more, even fooled one person after a quick jaunt "Hey is that a turbo spoolin in there"

 

My LS hatch w/ CAI and my wife's GS-R w/ CAI both squeek at partial throttle...live with it.

What the hell would you mess with your perfect idle for to make that little harmless noise go away. Mannn you guys are Ultra-Gay. I bet you all wear biker shorts and tanktops

 

Didn't have whistle, but I was pulling the distributor cap off an almost no miles 92' B18A motor i bought a while ago, put the new cap on my dizz, put intake back on & heard not a whistle, but a DEEP sound like when you blow into an empty glass bottle... just drove the car around the neighborhood & eventually went away...

 

main thing with this
ive owned many intakes
and the one piece AEM's do not whistle CAI only
the other even if its one piece ram air, it whistles
thats my expirience with my about 8 intakes
pEaCE

 

This might help. Step 1. Get yourself about half a sleeve of Saltines and crush them up in the wrapper. Step 2. Start your car. Step 3. Empty contents of wrapper onto exposed air filter. (works on annoying co-workers)

 

its the same principal as port noise in a speaker box. if there is not a rounded lip when the air is coming in its gonna whistle, its the sharpness of the tube thats causing the whistle. if theres any way to flare the end out the noise should go away. unfortunately itll be hard to get the end of the tube back into the filter.

Childhood problems? Adjusting the idle screw wont mess with "your perfect idle". After you reset the ecu the motor will adjust and idle the same. The screw just opens up a passage in the TB for slightly more air flow. Like when you change the size of your lips when you whistle sometimes it wont whistle. I was suggesting doing this cause it helps some cars get rid of the whistle. It doesnt hurt anything. Only thing it will hurt is your feelings towards gays in biker shorts.

If it does nothing to the idle, why is it called an "Idle Adjustment Screw"

Hey thats mean. I'm cool with gays in biker shorts, I just don't like gays that cry over their autozone intake making too much noise. I'm not knocking you for giving advice, I just wanna know why you guys are so sensitive. Are your girlfriends/moms complaining about the noise?? Why buy an intake then bitch when it makes the noise its supposed to?

 

Try the screw and when putting the intake in make sure it's all flush and tight

 

my ractive intake whistled like crazy, I just put a AEM intake on, and it doesn't whistle at all.
