Default Intake Problem Need Help Plz

Hey guys. i have a 99 honda accord sedan 4 cyl. and i bought a intake from ebay and i had them installed. now heres the problem. the intake makes this weird whistling noise when i have my accelerate pedel at a certain angle. and i dont think this is normal. you guys think its the intake or wut? the intake isnt a name brand one or anything i only paid like 30$ for it. and at the moment im thinking of replacing the intake.

yes, almost everyone I know wit a honda/acura has an intake sound is normal, remember there is not as much restriction with the new intake plus the resonator on the OEM intake (which quiets down incoming air) is eliminated.
